User's notes

I'm guessing these are Caladenia moschata but am ready to be corrected. Currently white Caladenia are blooming in great profusion all over the southern and eastern areas of these hills bordering Tuggeranong Pines. The wasp pollinator(?) in the second pic is interesting.

I can't see the pollinator. What flower is it visiting?

Sorry it's the first pic with only one flower.
