Adding this to my "why you don't go to Australia" list. Item 576.

It's a native bee, it is tiny and harmless.

Interestingly I was reading the other day about an extinct Aussie crocodile they called a drop crocodile becase they bused to drop on their prey from trees.

Ok, thanks for the additional context. Back down to 575.
