Not sure what these are but they came out of my house plant, after I put some new soil on them.

There was a black one to that looks similar. They are very small.

It's hard to see in the first few pictures but I want to say something like a cuckoo wasp which is a solitary wasp but I'm not 100% sure there is so many metallic green wasps out there.

Green cuckoo wasps do exist although I have no clue how to tell them from sweat bees.

I think that the wasp you found is a parasitic wasp
