A sure sign that summer is on its way in Sydney is the appearance of the first cicada. This type is very small and not very noisy, but I have spotted a few in the garden.

My friend linhngan just pointed out that its shell is a little dented on the side - it looks like a toy ladybug!

Male mosquito- they have a lot of feathery bits :)

last 3 pics of queen wasp :)

another of this confusing parasitoid wasp of the Scelionidae family found in the garden. Closest identification is Telenomus longistriatus, but this has genal striae or carinae and is 1.0mm long, whereas T.longistriatus has no genal striae and is 0.6 or 0.7mm long. Guidance is needed!
