This is a Crabronidae Wasp (Family Crabronidae). Due to the quality of the images, I’m hesitant to take this through to Species-level instead of leaving it at Family-level. However, the antennae shape & scapes; head & eyes shape; thorax & abdomen markings and placement; are all good indicators that this is Ammatomus icarioides & geographic location is a good fit.

Excellent photos of a stunning lep. I am a bit confused by this. Yes it does rather look like Dysphania numana but there are some problems. None I have seen online have the dark blue head and shoulders, they are all fluffy yellow or orange. Even dead or battered specimens. Also they have a row of yellow spots adjacent to the termen on the underside of the hindwings but none seem to have the other large yellow patch on the underside of hindwing. e.g.

Puzzling
This is a pair in cop so the big yellow patch is not a gender thing https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/239073783
