Pictures taken in Daisy Hill near Buhot Creek on Dec 2008. The wasp was examining the mud wall, could be trying to collect some mud.



Also found this wasp on Dec 2009 in Anstead Forest. This look like a Vespid wasp but its eyes is not emarginated and its fore wings not folded longitudinally. From its wing veins we believed it is a Sphecid Wasp.
