@stayup4ever   I think the aphids the wasps feed on were hampered by the wet early season we had ,  seeing very few wasps in the garden also ,  aphid almost non existent this season ...think both linked mate

Egyptian Locust ~ Anacridium aegyptium

 

The one from the Biblical plagues, they are fairly common here, this is probably a female due to its size, she's about 6cm long.

 

I'm happy for them to be around as a single insect will do very little damage, plus they are impressive wee beasties don't you think.
