A bit of a special sighting Helen, as I think this is a first for this species in NatureMapr (I had to add the species) if I'm correct with my ID.
Ctenotus superciliaris

Thanks Alison, I thought maybe it was an adult and nymph. I'll separate them
Cicadellidae (family)

@RogerF so interesting, but much like so many other inverts, there’s always so many undescribed and so often unable to be determined without rearing juveniles/nymphs/larvae through to their adult form…. There is still so much to learn out there isn’t there🙃
Austracris guttulosa

Hi Di,
There are more undescribed species of grasshopper (Acrididae + Eumastacidae) than described (including 2 Austracris) and probably many more to be discovered, especially in the tropics, as well as 6 described species of Valanga plus V. irregularis. I know nothing about the nymphs of these others. The only way to connect nymphs to adults is by breeding in the lab. The unusual pink hind wing buds of 4643981are also a puzzle: does the adult have pinkish hind wings. Searching through iNat could be worthwhile.
