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.
