| Species: | Small Flower Wasp (Aeolothynnus cf sp ES02)| This Photo: | Male, hairy | Thank you Dr Graham Brown for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere A small, hairy wasp of ~6-7mm. Originally thought this was a Catocheilus sp. But typically we'd expect Catocheilus to be large (~25mm) and smoother. Then we thought Agriomyia sp, but Graham said "more likely to be Aeolothynnus, definitely not Agriomyia which has a broader abdomen"
