Ant is my best guestimate for this. Not sure what it is.

Hi Alison, it’s not an ant - maybe a flower wasp? Cheers, Jon

Thanks Jon. This one has me confused. Not sure what it is. Doesn't appear to have wings.

Yes, as I understand it female flower wasps don’t have wings. I’m sure someone (Kim Pullen?) will set us right!
