This insect has me stumped. Its cute little face reminds me of a bee, but its body suggests a wasp, but there are bees that convincingly look like wasps and vice versa! This tiny cutie was fussing about on some carrot tops (Platysace linearifolia) and was a challenge to photograph because of its size and flightiness. I managed a few photos from different angles in the hopes someone could identify it for me! Found in Springwood, Blue Mountains, NSW.
