User's notes

A follow up to sighting 4479860 providing additional detail of the two parasitic wasps that were searching cracks in fencing for prey. The final image has been rotated 90deg clockwise to help viewing and shows the two wasps searching the same crack in the fencing for prey, whilst in close proximity to each other. There was no obvious aggression between the wasps, which flew close together many times. The quoted 'animal size' refers to overall length which was around 25mm.
