Good gekkos, eat those nasty bugs.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.

Any ideas what this is. It looks like a wasp but also quite ant-ish. Its always running round my green house.

Definitely something in the hymenoptera order. I didn't see anything that resembled it in my insect field guide but then it only lists just a handful of the several thousands of different ant species.
