Twisted-wing Insects (Order Strepsiptera)Observer

At the time I took this photo I could see a bit of insect debris in a Leptospermum flower that looked like the reject from some spider. I wasn't overly interested, but wanted to see anyway. The photos were terrible and on the camera the subject was completely underexposed. When I looked at home (a week later) though RAW came to the rescue and I ramped it up, got more and more excited and discovered that the "debris" was a male Strepsiptera. I've never seen one before. Maybe it was waiting for a bee to arrive with female attached?
