Now I've finished my Mount Amanzi TT, it's back to the backyard photos.

There are many Damselflies around, sometimes there are 3 or 4 on the same plant.

Another species of wasp, I think this might be Afreumenes aethiopicus. There are still several species of wasp in my garden that I haven't managed to photograph yet!
