Allsorts.

Not licorice, but invertebrate, and just as tasty, several different flavours from two locations. First is a Belid weevil, Rhinotia suturalis found apparently taking it easy on a on a wattle phyllode.

Second, another weevil found on the ground nearby. This is a Broad-nosed Weevil, going by the impressive name of Eurymetopus birabeni.

Third, always room for another spider, a nice orb weaver.

Fourth, found under loose bark on an Angophora costata, a beetle larva, one of two discovered. This is the larva of a Flat Bark Beetle, Family Cucujidae, Genus probably Platisus. Apparently the tail is an identification  feature.

Fifth, from the riverside reserve, a mating pair of robberflies, (Subfamily Asilinae), complete with wedding breakfast.

Sixth and final flavour, two dragonflies, Hemicordulia tau, the Tau Emerald,

And Austrogomphus guerini, the Yellow-striped Hunter.

More Spider Stuff.

Two female Hypoblemums to begin, first Hypoblemum scutulatum.

Face on.

Hypoblemum griseum, this female has prey, possibly a smaller jumping spider.

The garden red gums are strongholds of small spiders in the Theridiidae family, the first image shows a female with a clutch of spiderlings, click to enlarge. The second shows another individual at her retreat of a loose piece of bark.

An orb weaver nicely camouflaged also at its loose bark daytime retreat.

The rotary clothes hoist is a popular base from which orb weavers suspend their webs. With a camouflaged retreat hard to find this peg was the best option.

Flatties like to stay close to their crack homes, like this Holoplatys species.

Not so Helpis minitibunda, a widely roaming jumper.

Opisthoncus necator has become quite common, even to the point of hitching a ride on one’s arm where it found the going fairly difficult. Click to enlarge.
