This one had me stumped. I was scanning through all insect pictures on Atlas but couldn’t find it. It had landed on the sand in front of me.

I can't tell if this is a wasp of the Braconidae, or a bug of the Miridae, or something else entirely! I'd love to see a specimen.

I was surprised when this one landed near my feet. It didn’t seem that active. When I tried to identify it and couldn’t find it I had wondered if it had been brought in by strong winds. If I see one again I will try to get a specimen but, if I'm correct about wind, it could have been a one off chance visitor. I remember where I spotted it on Bournda Beach so will keep watching for one. If seen in the national park, would it be okay to capture one for you to ID considering park restrictions?

I did return to the location but had no luck searching the area. As I am often at Bournda I'll keep my eyes open.
