Had been paralysed by a shiny blue/black hunting wasp. An ID would be most appreciated.
This species appears to have just started flowering, including one specimen opening during my visit.
Blackcleugh forest walk, orchids in flower and growing beside the stream, almost at the waters edge.
Note long narrow up turned tip on the dorsal , dark red labellum.
Often mimics Ramarama (Lophomyrtus bullata) in this locality. However, the flowers give it away.
