Blue Flower Wasps

At our working bee in January a large number of Blue Flower wasps were buzzing around close to the ground near the wooden seating area. With their metalic blue wings, they are quite beautiful. The adults feed on nectar from native plants and their larvae parasitize Christmas Beetle larvae. They are not aggressive like European wasps, but individuals can sting if provoked.
