User's notes
This flew into my office a couple days ago and has perched itself on furniture and has not moved from it since.
When I noticed it was still there today, I got intrigued about what it was, landed on this page that suggested I report it here: https://atlasoflife.org.au/news-events/2019/4/14/wasp-alert
