This page contains pictures and information about Wasps in family Sphecidae that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
- We believed the wasps listed in this page are in the family Sphecidae.
However, we cannot further identify them. Please advise
if you know what wasps they are.

- Small Potter Wasp

- ? sp., nest size
30x40mm, Wasp body length 12mm
- We found this small mud nest under a shrub in late summer 2006. There was
one small hole on the nest. We brought it home to see what would come out. Few
days later we found four small brown wasps came out. However, there were only
three more holes on the nest. Opened the empty cells we found some spider body
remains.
