Interestinger and interestinger. This is Trilaccus mimeticus (#Hemiptera, #Miridae), a species only described in 2020 in this paper: dx.doi.org/10.1163/1876312X-00

The paper says, "Trilaccus mimeticus sp. n. is unique amongst Saturniomirini, having sinuate margins and transparent fascia of the corium, giving the mimetic appearance of a wasplike petiole."

64 records already in #iNaturalist, a few from before the species was named:
