In Australia Thyreus spp seem to be common, but not seen very much, so I think you are lucky to get this nice photo. They are cuckoos of Amegilla spp, the blue banded bees and the charmingly named teddy bear bees. Blue bandeds you see zipping around gardens and flowering grasses a lot - I found them utterly impossible to photograph. The teddy bear bees are like marble sized orange balls of fur cruising purposefully through the bush. See my thread http://www.dipter...#post_6664 picture 5.
