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

I agree. They are certainly not small. But beautiful when you can get that blue to show.

excellent shot Claire. I got one at Yackandandah on the weekend but although I could see the blue when it flew I couldn't capture it on film.
