European Woolcarder Bee (Anthidium manicatum)Observer
dubhDescription
Odd looking, rounder profiled wasp. I don’t think there’s a large nest—because there’s very little traffic. Could it be solitary? It’s going into the gap between the weatherboards and the door frame. And I have observed another on the opposite door frame too.

Photos not great compared to Shaun's - but oh well. Good night of mothing with @possums_end on top of Dickson's Hill. Usually a very windy spot, it was very calm and mild. Delighted with 10 new species for me in this upload (barring any incorrect IDs): Coleophora mayrella, Epichorista hemionana, Epiphryne verriculata (finally!!! ha ha), Glyphipterix triselena, Gymnobathra omphalota, Heterocrossa contactella, Pseudocoremia lupinata, Pseudocoremia pergrata, Pyrgotis eudorana, and the stinging nettle undescribed Meterana sp.
