Stiletto fly not seen in NSW for 55 years - until now!

The Garden continues to attract some star pollinators - the latest find is a stiletto fly that has not been seen in NSW for 55 years. This is only the third photographic record of it in the wild. The other 10 recorded observations are pinned specimens - mostly dating back to 1974 and earlier.
