That's a beautiful stinkbug you've found. Unfortunately I can't find any species that match.

Love leaf beetles. Well done on adding it to paropsis gallery.

I did wonder at the ID saying female. Expected a drabber female. This page has great images. http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details...

Amazed you spotted one of these. They're so small. Adore the eyes.

It looks like a linx spider with a crab spider abdomen. Beautiful critter & photo.

Stinging Nettle Slug Caterpillar commented on by lori.tas Lat: 9.11 Lon: 99.877 years ago

You've found a Limacodid genus larva, but I can't find the exact species. They are the caterpillars of Cup moths, also called Stinging slug moths, for obvious reasons.

It's a type of Ichneumon wasp, that usually parasitizes caterpillars by laying it's eggs in or on them.

Nodding Greenhood commented on by lori.tas Launceston, Tasmania, Australia7 years ago

Hi, Charlie. I'm going to have to go out & look for these now, as I was under the impression they come later in the year. We have several clusters of them on our property. I love the window effect on the top of the hood designed to confuse the insect into staying in the hood longer, thus spreading more pollen.
