Do not disturb

These little critters are and important part of the environment as they are busy visiting plants to feed on the nectar and at the same time pollinating the plant. They are also very busy finding food for their larvae,  caterpillars, aphids and other small insects. 

These are one of the paper wasp species, White Faced Brown Paper Wasp Ropalidia plebiana and smaller than their more well known relative Australian Paper Wasp Polistes humilis  but their sting is just as painful. Fortunately they are not aggressive and people generally are stung by inadvertently disturbing their nest.
