Okay, so I went out to my Grevillea to grab a flower for the young bird that has recently joined our family so it could have a special treat for breakfast. As I leaned forward I nearly jumped as I saw a big wasp out of the corner of my eye. I noticed that it was not being very aggresive, to the point of not moving... Here's why..... Commonly and aptly known as the Assassin bug.(Pristhesancus plagipennis ) (sorry pictures are a little grainy, Flip the bird got his breakfast half an hour late that morning by the way:})
It is "was" sheding it's coat.. that is soo cool that you got a picture of it doing that:), what kind of bird do you have?.... :)
A little peachface good for the kids to handle. By the way it's not shedding it's gotten a little too friendly with the Assassin. Check the proboscis entering the wasp.
