The Yellow Hairy Flower Wasp (Radumeris tasmaniensis) is native to Australia and Papua New Guinea, found along the eastern coast regions of Australia, stretching south into Victoria and South Australia, and in the south-western coastline of Western Australia. One would think that they would not like the arid region of Central Australia, however pictured here are Radumeris tasmaniensis in Alice Springs.
These wasps were photographed in a garden in Alice Springs on a guava shrub.
