| Species: | Yellow-antennae Black Spider Wasp (Fabriogenia sp ES01)| This Photo: | Flying | General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere ~9mm long, ~17mm wingspan. Very thick, obvious, yellow antennae that often curl at the tips. The wings are light & dark striped, but transparent. The body looks similar to the zebra spider wasp in that it has silvery grey stripes, but these are hairs not body colour. There are only 3 fabriogenia sp described in Australia, and we have 3 different species here; but which is which or if all of ours are undescribed we can't say.
