well, i'm off to the eyre peninsula tomorrow, but i have pre-drawn the next eight animals and i will pre-post them tonight. be sure to still check them out!

it is going to seem like such a luxury when i get back and only have one animal a day to draw again.

hence my questioning. turns out it is a parasitic wasp of the braconidae family.

(please get back to me with the facts because i have better things to do)
