User's notes

More wasps emerged from eggs collected at the time of sighting 4514079. These wasps have a distinctive green 'face', which could perhaps help further ID? The grid squares in the last photo are 2 mm. There are now many Calomela leaf beetles on this acacia, perhaps hatched from some of the other eggs.
