Lyramorpha rosea
This bright orange Tessaratomidae bug looks more bionic than biological. They are always very different looking than their adults.

Thank you Scott I think there is only one species local to us.
Ahh, found it, very good! Definitely Lyramorpha. Have you looked at Lyramorpha rosea, the lychee stink bug? http://www.ces.csiro.au/aicn/system/c_18... and http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b... and http://www.saveourwaterwaysnow.com.au/01...
