User's notes
I was surprised to see three huntsman spiders sprawled in a Cassinia in the middle of the day. When a large black insect started to buzz me while I was photographing one, I realised they must have fallen prey to a spider wasp. After the wasp flew off I found it on the ground nearby with another huntsman. The wasp is shown in sighting 4424944.
