What a wonderful creature. I cannot identify species but it is a whip scorpion, so Arachnida: Thelyphonida. Previously under Uropygi. Looks formidable but quite harmless. Can spray acetic acid from pore at the base of whip (called the flagellum). Usually occurs in tropics.
A very big aquatic insect which feeds on fish by piercing them and injecting a fluid. Really cool! Take care as they give a very painful bite.
I may be off target here as you cannot make out the veins on the wing but it may be a Psocid, or book lice. I am simply going by shape of wings and tent like posture. The veination of Psocids is distinctive but I cannot make that out.
This could be a bag moth, Psychidae. If it is then this case is also used by the larvae.
Alernatively, could be pupae cases of ichneumon wasp after emerging from their host
I agree with bayucca's id. However I think the moth has developed from the caterpillar. A close look of the hairs of bracteigutta larva is like water droplets. That in photo is more like paddles. There are many undescribed moths in Australia. I feel this is likely to be a Homodes sp, but different to bracteigutta. Why not send photos to Ted Edwards of ANIC?
A goat mot, of family Cossidae. Pssibly belongs to Genus Endoxyla. These are adults of wijety grub. Feed usually on roots underground. Hundreds of sp in Australia,
