Coreid Bug - possibly Pod-sucking Bug? (Riptortus serripes) - at Tondoon Botanic Gardens, Gladstone, Queensland, Australia.
Bug, genus Nysius (thanks, Tristan!). I think the moth is Clepsis peritana -- it is very pale; but bona fide Clepsis peritana is abundant around here, and the pattern of the markings does match.
I took this shot with the Tamron 70-300 DI LD Macro lens on a Pentax K100D. 300mm Macro about 2FT away. This bug is approx 3/8" in length. I almost did not see him in the grass.

This bug looks to me like a mountaineer getting ready to climbg a challenging slope - which just happens to be a large lily! The bug needs to be seen large size.
I've been getting an interesting bug this afternoon on all my Google searches.
Every non-google site is displaying with a "this site may harm your computer" link under the main search result.
This, of course, is quite hilarious; so I took the opportunity to do a search for some truely malicious programmes.
The ornamental gardens had an accompanying insectarium. This is just a small handfull of the many bugs on display. Though they did have live specimens, and Fran was particularly taken with the bees, they were far outnumbered by those who were not so fortunate and now lie behind glass, pinned to a board.
Leptoglossus occidentalis
The western conifer seed bug is a nuisance pest in New England, where it enters homes and barns in the fall to find protection for winter. The adult is brownish and about 0.75 inches long. Like others in the Coreidae family (leaf-footed bugs), it has a flattened expansion on each of its hind legs that gives the appearance a leaf. They do not sting or bite but give off a bad smell when handled.
Apparently a milkweed bug but have yet to see it on milkweed;) I know they seem to like agastache and for sure the salvia plant. Not sure if they actually eat the plant or hunt from it...hmm;)

These are some of my ceramic clay bug magnets. I don't know what kind of bugs they are- sorry.
