Same family of wasps that I posted video of a few weeks ago, where the male picked up the female from a piece of grass. This pair is a different species, but same family. But the female was much bigger than the thynnid females I've been rescuing from the swimming pool (see second photo for size comparison with my index finger).

When they had done their business, she kind of flicked off, then walked down the plant stem to the ground to look for a beetle larva to lay her egg in.

What on earth is this?

Found it on my car. Its only 20-30mm long.

We have had a couple wasps inside the house and have found this by the back door.

We don't want to kill them if they are native and likely not to be a problem. But I know nothing about wasps and we have an 18 month old who is curious but I don't want stung :)

Thanks!

Victoria - West of Melbourne.

Found this little guy just on my bed, looks like a type of ladybug to me, but I don't really know about these kinds of insects all too well.

Wondering what she is.

A pretty awesome find to see this moth of my journey it felt like catching a new unseen Pokémon haha SA

It actually looks like a snake on its back..

Colour a bit bleached from poor photography skills. There were several of them.

It was nice to see this fella today after being swarmed by bogong moths for the last 2 weeks!

Sorry about the blur!

Clutching some avena, the mandible looks rather formidable

I live in Southern Tasmania and I have noticed these spiders I have never seen before clustering together in webs with the weirdest spikey egg sacs

If anyone can give me advice on how to relocate the one on my bin I'd really appreciate it. SE Victoria, City of Casey.

Escorted out of our house, beautiful little wasp!

Just snapped this picture of 3 small insects - completely still - in a park in south east suburbs of Melbourne. For scale the “cup” of the flower is about 12mm across so these “bees” are very small indeed. Would love to ID them or find out what they’re doing here!

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Caught and released this bull ant which came inside my place. See them most days in warm weather. They are solitary hunters. I have seen them prey on other insects.

It has been warming up now that it’s spring time here. My earlier post had someone saying it was a queen with wing scars, but I think it might just have some cobwebs from crossing the shed and house floor. We usually get the flying ants in late summer? Any thoughts?

A few critters from my walk today, Perth WA.
Would love an ID on the long fly(?), red isopod looking thing and the little green nymph.

Dasypodia cymatodes
Always loved these old ladies :)
check out her gorgeous red eyes and that thick fluffy coat! plus the reflective dots were catching the sun so nicely!

I hope you like my collection 🐛🪲🦗🦋

Edit: I know nothing about most of them, so feel free to educate me.

Edit 2: thanks for the awards people. But I'm just happy to have found this subreddit with like minded people.
