Back in 2017 we had added bark chips to our Swan View garden and this wasp came to visit. It fossicked around on and under the bark. It was interesting to see it burrow down and then return to the surface, not leaving a burrow.

I suspect this is the same bug but a younger nymph as a previous sighting at the same site as https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/25706978#activity_identification_0ea44bd1-f2c5-48ca-8863-3382d1d535ea

There were many of these 3-4 mm hoppers in the evening in the garden. They were sitting on the leaves of Marigold Tree (Tithonia diversifolia) but also on other plants.

I noticed these small Native bees flying around and momentarily landing on a lump of lateritic rock. Closer inspection found that these tiny bees had holes bored into the rock. Occasionally one would disappear down a hole. These bees were unbelievably small: 4 mm long x 1 mm wide.
We sent photos and information to Dr Terry Houston, our local bee expert and he replied:
"Interesting observations! The bee looks to be a Hylaeus (Prosopisteron) species. I'm wondering if the males are just engaging in some mating behaviour. I wouldn't expect that the bees could bore into rock and I'd be surprised if the holes went very far in."
