I wasn't being critical - wasp shots are great. I only got my first shots of Pintail/tumbler beetles a few months ago. Completely new family of beetles for me. Very exciting. They are very small (~5mm), energetic and strange looking beetles. Have a look at e.g. Mordella sydneyana

Gasteruption sp. (genus)

Sorry - there are so many of them that I get blase and don't take photos - oops. I will take photos next time I'm out there, if there are any beetles around . . .

Gasteruption sp. (genus)

Probably sub-family Opiinae

Lisa, do you have any clearer shots of the black thing below the wasp in the first shot - this is a Mordellidae - Pintail/tumbler beetle
