Avicenna inquinata shield bug
It may be officially autumn in these parts, but flora and fauna activity still abounds together with the warm weather - it is temperate Australia, after all.
Delights such as a native Avicenna species shield bug that I came across just a couple of days ago, making its way through foliage.
Cool little shield bug with its colourful spines.
This is a true bug; that is, one with piercing and sucking mouthparts.
Input from iNaturalist places this as a not so common Avicenna inquinata.
Around 10 mm in length.
