4 Legged Wasp

Don't know the species unfortunately, but I took a few pictures of this guy without even noticing a thing. Perhaps he had trouble while coming out of his pupae stage.

Really cool capture. Poor guy, although he seems to balance himself alright even without his front legs.

That's awesome. At first I was thinking to myself, "um, duh it's a 4 legged wasp." Then I realized...it's a wasp. I like it's colors.

Awh- poor thing- lovely shot though. Have to admit my first thought was that it is a bee rather than a wasp but I'm not certain at all.

Yeah, I guess it could be a bee... not too familiar with them though so I'll have to do a bit of research on Australian bees.

By the way, thanks for the comments guys.

Edit: Yeah, I think I'd have to agree with you Brian. After doing a little searching I've found a few Australian bees that look quite similar. I'll try and see which species -- but thanks for the clarification.

Nice color and detail. Like it well done.

Nice detail in the shots, I wonder how he cleans his eyes with no front legs ?

Very nice shots superb colour and detail
He seems to manage OK with legs missing
