Not a good photo, but I don't see them very often.

I love these big Rutilia flies. We were kind of lucky in that it got cold when I was out, and there were drops of rain, so the fly actually sat still on the path. They usually take off like rockets.

Lahokoit (Heimo Oecophoridae)Havainnoija

On bracken, you really need to do a double take to discover that this isn't just a deposit of wren poo.

Suku TelanepsiaHavainnoija

Or possibly another poo mimic. This looks along the lines of Ioptera but I'm not confident as I can't see little crests behind the head.

Suku ErechthiasHavainnoija

This one was by far the most interesting of all the moths I uploaded in this bunch. It was running around, in daylight on a trunk amongst a stack of ants. I couldn't get decent photos due to the speed, and size. I also can't find an ID. I thought it would be easy with the eye spot wing flange. These lead me to Tineidae.

Culladia cuneiferellus I think. I love those scales on the edges of the wings.

Ecnolagria rufescensHavainnoija

I really want to turn up E. grandis one day, but I guess this is the usual dull Ecnolagria rufescens.

Gelonus tasmanicus adult and nymph living amongst dead Correa (I think) foliage.

Heimo MembracidaeHavainnoija
zosterops99Kuvaus
I'd boldly designated this to be a Sextius exuvium in the past, but this one was with Ceraon tasmaniae. Membracidae at least.

Suku SericophorusHavainnoija
zosterops99Kuvaus
I think this was still alive...just.... It was on a Eucalypt trunk and had a beautiful blue sheen. I don't think I've seen one before. It was a bulky wasp, maybe around the 1cm mark (if memory is right!).

I think these are both Pison sp. Both were exploring a fallen log.

Suku AradusHavainnoija

Aradus sp. a very rough cut bug. I've only seen this species twice - and both in the last 12 months + a few days. We only have A.albicornis, and A. australis listed for Tas.

Suku DiaphytaHavainnoija

These are such pretty bugs, and so well camouflaged on the Allocasuarina nuts. I assumed this was Diaphyta rosea, but its underside is really different to the other we have photographed.

Heimo HippoboscidaeHavainnoija

It's unusual to find these settling on a plant - usually I get them from the dog, (or via the dog onto me!). Luckily this was in national park, so no dog for it to settle on!

My guess is Eulophidae. I wonder what it is associated with?? So much to learn...

Stauralia I think. The second I've found with the really dark markings.
