Hi Tim, Thanks for reporting the Jack Jumpers. Looks like section 194 on the map, does that sound about right? Cheers

Hi, Yesterday I watched a European Wasp attacking a European Honey Bee in the grass on my front lawn. It came back several times and it seemed the bee was slowly dying as it struggled in the grass for some time. By the time I got my camera the wasp didn't come back. I presumed that since the wasps like sweet things that it might have been stealing the pollen from the bee, but killed the bee in the process.

Hi GITM1. I, too, have wondered why the wasps were attaching the soldier flies. Canberra NatureMapr has a good description of the behaviour for Vespula germanica (European Wasp). After reading it, I think the wasps' attacks on the soldier flies could be just an example of their usual aggressive behaviour toward other insects. I've been seeing quite a few of these social wasps around the yard & nearby.

I was initially thinking this was a little one but I think that impression is due to the perspective. The big 'fleshy arms' leads me to Aenetus sp. I noticed the other day A. eximia has yellow examples on-line. see

BOLD specimens are tricky colour-wise as blue/green fades really quickly in preserved moths.
