Cerceris australisHavainnoija

I think this is a Cerceris sp. probably Cerceris australis. See also an earlier post of a wasp of similar appearance.
In the earlier post, I added the following comment:
Ken Walker advises that "Cerceris was revised in 1981 by Howard Evans and he recognised 47 species - the two most common were C. antipodes and C. australis."
Ken suspected this might prove to be C. australis.
Based on photos on ALA and elsewhere, I also think that this is probably C. australis.
The photos of this and the one in earlier observation were all taken on the same day and location on the same plant, a silk pod vine.

A Wasp - not European as I first thought - predating on a Damsel Fly.
The Wasp was flying around grasping the prey (image #3). When it landed, it appeared to be either probing/attacking or perhaps getting a better grip.
