User's notes
The orchid is a specimen from a local colony rescued from wombat digging, it's in a pot. The flower opened up couple of days ago; I put it out in a relatively wet area outside this morning and the two wasps moved in within 5 minutes.

Neozeleboria cryptoides is the usual pollinator of this species, and looks like a good match for the wasp in the photos
