User's notes

Four of these wasps were sighted in what appeared to be a breeding pair with two males trying to interrupt. The breeding pair were located one above and one (the female?) below the wattle sprig they were on, with the other two insects harassing the one below. The first two images show the breeding insect which was on top of the wattle sprig. The remaining images were taken from below looking upwards.
