Located in Sydney. Was putting out washing and this FLEW past my head and landed on washing. Approx the length of my pinky finger (so biggish). Just curious as to what it is.

What is this weird and wonderful chrysalis? 

Hover flies in the garden 

I’m assuming it’s a moth!? Would love an ID.

Colourful moth

Is this a Black slip wasp? 

Found on my lemon tree, close to an acacia. I figured he’d dropped from the acacia and would prefer to eat those leaves, but luckily I included his lemon leaf as he ended up only consuming lemon leaves before pupating. I’m still waiting for him to emerge as a beautiful, slightly-less-bizarre-looking moth!

Bizarre Looper

A bunch of these 2-3mm beetles have made my house their home.  Any ideas what they are?

Small beetles (eastern Melbourne)

Welcome to Australian Insects! Sub is now back up and running and open for posts!

Yes, they're technically lawn shrimp, but we're Aussies and prawns rhymes

Lawn prawns! Every time we get a big rain, they swarm across the kitchen floor. Constant hassle to sweep them out

Can anyone tell me what eggs these are please? I seen a butterfly around the leaves so I’m suspecting they might be from her?

This little guy was shuffling through my peppermint. 
I live just south of Brisbane Qld
It was tiny. Barely a couple millimiters in size. 
Definitely not a piece of fluff. 
Does anyone know what it is? 
Thanks in advance

Please Help me identify.

I live in Melbourne. Been in my house for about 4 years and this is the first I've seen this. They're all over the front of my house (I'm guessing maybe because of the tree?). They're all over the grass, mail box, driveway and parts of the house.
What are these bugs? Are they harmful to pets/other plants? etc
Any info would be must appreciated. Thanks

Anyone know what these bugs are and why they're gathered like this?

Are they insect eggs? If so what kind are they? I put my finger accidentally in the middle of the peg so wiped away a lot of them.

Beetle ID please

Found this little one (~15mm long)  on the kitchen bench in Lockyer Valley Queensland last night.  Mantid forelegs and triangle head but I've never seen a mantis with such large wings that don't fold back to the abdomen. Anyone seen one of these before or can confirm it is from Mantidae family?

Apologies for the VERY average photos,  old phone that has taken a beating.

My dad just sent me a picture of this caterpillar asking if I could identify it. I’m not entirely sure myself so I was wondering if anybody else knew? Thank you :)
