Wasps have been very scarce this season, with flower wasps and sand wasps conspicuous by their absence. There have been a small number of spider hunting wasps in the subfamily Pepsinae checking out the tree trunks for prey. This one had captured a Clubiona spider and was haunting an outdoors chair where it may have had a nest.
A harmless and attractive native cockroach, Ellipsidion australe.
A juvenile white-tailed spider,Lampona species, the white body markings fade with age.
The majority of the damsels in the garden are Wandering Ringtails, Austrolestes leda, but there is also the odd Blue Ringtail, Austrolestes annulosus.
This fly has so far failed to get an identification on Inat.
