Lyramorpha sp.
A "giant shield bug" of the genus Lyramorpha family Tessaratomidae, at night.
Spotted on Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) next to a house located in a large, semi-urban yard & garden, in close proximity to a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest.
Yes there are but I think this is an import...It's in a huge pot and it spends every December inside as our Christmas tree. Now it's outside. and a good place to find wildlife...
That's a Papuan wood carving ! :-) Interesting about the NI pine.. are there native Araucaria?
