No, it’s not a wasp (nomad bee?)

No, it's not a wasp (nomad bee)

To me it looks like a wasp, but the AI identification on iNaturalist claims it is a species of nomad bee. If so, it’s a kleptoparasite, a “cuckoo bee” – laying its eggs in the nests of other bee species, like cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds.
