User's notes
This is a mystery insect for me! It was close to 5mm in size. I was having morning tea with a group of birders on a BLSH outing. This tiny insect was on a friend, JW, who then passed it to me for some photos.

Hi Curiosity, I'm pretty sure this is one of a group of weird wasps, some of which are wingless and look a bit like ants. Cheers, Jon
