This flowering shrub is a huge magnet for insects though they have to battle multitudes of European Wasps. Thanks again for the id, maybe I will learn to id them myself one day.

Thanks for identifying that wasp Simone, only one of them comes visiting. I feel sorry for all the insects labelled 'common'.

I agree it looks like Abispa Splendia but not listed

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

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 . . .
