plant bug
Pseudopantilius australis. A rather large, sap-feeding bug known to feed on Pultenaea, Hakea and Leptospermum. This one was perched on Leucopogon, but not apparently feeding.
Black Squeaker
Atrapsalta encaustica. The soft, repetitive calls of this species are becoming the background soundtrack of the forest. It is quite a small cicada, and well camouflaged against the bark of dead or burnt trees.
