This little wasp kept on coming back to the same plant so it was relatively easy to photograph. I have noticed that the wasp was obviously attracted to aphids sitting on this plant. Some literature suggests that female of Pseudomalus violaceus lays eggs on aphids hoping that a Crabronidae-wasp will take an infected aphid to its nest. The hatched Pseudomalus violaceus can then consume the content of that nest.
