A cellar spider wrapping its prey (a true bug of some sort). A very neat job of wrapping.

A Flat-headed leafhopper (Ledromorpha planirostris) - masters of camouflage, these flat-bodied hoppers can be found on certain species of smooth-skinned gum trees.
A Flat-headed leafhopper (Ledromorpha planirostris) - masters of camouflage, these flat-bodied hoppers often develop markings that match the particular tree they live on.
A leafhopper of the Stenocotini tribe (genus stenocotis sp). They like to nestle in the dimples of smooth-skinned gum trees.

Some of the neighbourhood locals - if you're a fellow Australian why not pop outside this evening, find the nearest smooth-skinned gum tree and see if you can find some tiny friends #leafhoppers #treehoppers #planthoppers #BugSky #macroaddicts #australianinsects

A scarred treehopper rests on a branch as an ant scurries over it.
A twig was obscuring this a bit but you can clearly see where the Hopper's dorsal spine has broken off and the stump has become discoloured #MacroAddicts #BugSky #AustralianInsects #AcaciaTwoHornedTreeHopper

It's been a couple of years since I have come across these native bees!
Cuckoo bees are brood parasites. They sneak into the nests of other bees, lay their eggs, and leave the unsuspecting host to raise their young.

Four shots of male Blue-banded bees latched onto plant stems for their nighttime rest.
If they can't get comfortable on the communal stem male Blue-banded bees will buzz over to the next free stalk and latch on for the night #BlueBandedBees #MacroAddicts #MacroPhotography #BugSky #MacroSky #Insects #AustralianInsects

Four Blue-banded bees getting comfortable on the twig of a salvia plant. The bees sleep by locking their mandibles around the twig.
My aunt and uncle currently have some Blue-banded bees (Amegilla cingulata)visiting and I was lucky enough to get some snaps of them settling in for the night - single shot, hand-held #MacroAddicts #BugSky #Macro #Insects #Bluebandedbees #AustralianInsects #Macrophotography

A close up on the Two-horned Treehopper with focus on the head, crest and legs.

Two-horned Treehopper (Ceraon sp).
Such a treat to find this one. They're solitary bugs, and other related species can be quite photo-shy #AustralianInsects #BugSky #MacroAddicts #Insects #Treehopper

This is a little Psocoptera (Barklice/Plantlice) that I snapped a few weeks back - not quite cicada, not quite treehopper and very tiny #insects #psocoptera #MacroAddicts #australianinsects
