User's notes
This female Flower Wasp was on a stalk of some very dry native grass. Initially, I thought she was dead and the body was attached to the stalk by a spider web but then I noticed she started to move. This female was acting like an acrobat on a pole, moving its body around the stalk with its two front pairs of legs while its rear legs looked to be stroking its abdomen.
