If you are experiencing swarming black wasps, then these are not the Great Black.

It's a black flower wasp - native to Australia! It's a non-aggressive native wasp, that keeps grubs and destructive insects in lawns and gardens under control. The females are big and powerful and can dig holes into the ground to lay their lavae. The males can be seen pollenating wild flowers low to the ground. They are a beautiful insect and don't need to be erradicated as they aren't a pest or aggressive or dangerous to humans. They are unusally shaped - a bit like a massive fly (like a march fly) mixed with a dragon fly and a butterfly. They have elongated black bodies, slightly hairy dark (mostly black) legs, and stunning bright irridescent cobalt blue wings that make them look like something from out of this world!
