@TimL this beauty is a Wasp. It looks very much like Austrogorytes bellicosus which is a Sand Wasp in Tribe Bembicini, Family Crabronidae. I’m new to NatureMapr so am still getting used to the processes. I can’t see it as an option to select from so it may well need to be setup before this observation can be verified for you. In the interim I have ID’d it back to Family so should hopefully be in the correct area for you😊

@MichaelMulvaney thankyou so much for Verifying Austrogorytes bellicosus for me💚Did you have to set it up or was the option already there & I was just too blind to see it?
