Mason wasp
Synagris sp
-23.5277, 27.0471
Field Notes
Description:
short waisted wasp around 20mm long, some red/orange colouration about the head and thorax, the wings were transparent brown with black tips. The abdomen was plain black with a grey bloom
Habitat:
sub-tropical arid tree/bush savanna with hot, wet summers and dry, mild winter
Notes:
the all black tail should be diagnostic, I imagine, as many of these type of wasp have bright red, orange or yellow bands or terminal portions to their abdomens
