Sawfly Larvae (Spitfire Caterpillar).
These guys are real nasty, if you disturb them they'll wave their tails almost like a Mexican wave. Touch them, and they regurgitate a yellowish green liquid with a pungent aroma of Eucalyptus, which is the type of tree they feed on. They are best left alone.
I had miss identified this guy.....
......in a previous post. It turns out that this isn't a Cicada, but a Sawfly adult.

I was out walking my dog (well to be honest, my dog was out chasing kangaroos and I kept her company.) this afternoon where I stumbled upon something that I'd never seen before, an ant game trail.
It would've been over one hundred meters (300ft) long, and 50mm (2 inches) wide.
Here are the guys responsible.
It was hard to get a good shot of the ants as they just wouldn't stay still.

Bugs are back, so me too. First is a sweat bee that finally stood still enough for a picture. The bee is solid green, any yellow in the appearance is it reflecting my red camera. I had to sit on the hive to get it, which is a very bad idea if you happen to be dealing with almost any other kind of bee.
Then here's a damselfly nymph that was climbing out of a pond sample in the bio lab. I have the full hatching process documented, but I don't want to make the post big so I'll show the start and end.
