Golden Spider Wasp Cryptocheilus australis

This large wasp dragged a large spider that looked like a huntsman, across the grass in the bushland reserve, over a distance of about 10 metres, to reach a hedge. I took a video of it.

Mud wasp

At the white night lights set up to attract Moths.

Many species of wasps were feeding on the scale insects on an Acacia plant. The Acacia stems were covered with scale and were very sticky to touch.
