I tracked this wasp for some time in the kangaroo grass always landing pointing to the ground and always facing belly towards me. Not sure what the round thing was but was atttached.

In flower wasps the flightless female is carried around by the male to feed. She is rolled herself into a bit of a ball in your photo
