Xanthocryptus sp.
Approximately 15mm long. Spotted and banded white and black wasp with orange femurs, bands on antennae, white bands on rear tarsi.
Exploring the crevices of bark on local eucalyptus.
Subfamily Cryptinae. This one was moving around very quickly so it was difficult to get a good clear shot. Wasps need a mission.

Thanks again John. Because I didn't get clarity of venation of wings I wasn't sure it wasn't braconidae.
Ichneumonidae.
