Pseudopantilius australis Nymph
This cute nymph was found on a broad leafed wattle and matches the colors of a nearby leaf beetle; Peltoschema suturalis. I do not know the bug.
A local park.

Not sure Mark. I think they are usually red usually red.
This one has longer hind legs than I would have expected and I think it might mimic a katydid.
