Deep within the hush of a sun-dappled garden, a tiny warrior glitters like a gem among the leaves. Her name is Auria — a cuckoo wasp cloaked in shimmering emerald and sapphire scales that catch the morning light like living treasure.

While bees and other wasps build their nests and toil to care for their young, Auria waits and watches.
