I found this fire-tailed mud wasp on a crepe myrtle tree. Flowering trees and shrubs attract everything from beetles to wasps, flies and of course many different bees. Kyogle, NSW.
Young paper wasp (Ropalidia revolutionalis) holds a drop of honeydew in her jaws. Durack, QLD.
Wasp fills in a hole after burying a spider and laying an egg inside. She uses her jaws and back legs to dislodge dirt. The hatched larva will likely feed on the spider while it grows. Durack, QLD.
