I wasn't being critical - wasp shots are great. I only got my first shots of Pintail/tumbler beetles a few months ago. Completely new family of beetles for me. Very exciting. They are very small (~5mm), energetic and strange looking beetles. Have a look at e.g. Mordella sydneyana

Gasteruption sp. (genus)

Lisa, do you have any clearer shots of the black thing below the wasp in the first shot - this is a Mordellidae - Pintail/tumbler beetle
