Harlequin bugs (Dindymus versicolor) are natives that are known to occur in southern to eastern Australian states. They are minor pests of ornamentals and soft fruits, though usually in urban gardens. They may also have minor carnivorous tendencies. Research shows they will eat larvae and other animal proteins - I've also personally observed cannibalism though most likely just opportunistic rather than predatory which may also apply to their carnivory in general.
The red colour in the patterns of the elytra and pronotum can vary from being dull and dark to being bright with sunburst qualities.
Photographed in an urban garden, Sandy Bay, Hobart, Tasmania.
Reference:
this HUGE bug was in our lab the other day. this photo, despite the penny for scale, does nothing to show how big it is (the bug is slanted up against the side of the cup... the 44 oz cup, which makes it seem a little shorter)... it's huge. and hairy. but we named him Benny. is it a cockroach? I've never see one like this, if it is.
This bug was originally sitting on my laundry, eating it. If it hadn't been SUCH a cool bug, I would have screamed and shook it off, instead of running upstairs to get my camera.
Eric put it on this branch to show its cool camo skillz!

Original as in this was the first Bug Jar quilt that Susan ever made. Both she and Pat made several more after their relatives got wind of it.

The bugs were enjoying the avocado blossoms. There was a weird looking bee like thing I got a shot of, this is quite cropped, I didn't have my macro on :)

I am making kaleidoscope patterns again. Here is one based on the bug photo that precedes this image.
The last of the interesting bugs photographed at this forest reserve - I assume some sort of assassin bug.
Seen as I slowly wandered back from the stream to the lodge.
It was crawling on a tan colored door. In an attempt to punch this up, I hit it with the flash a few times (which resulted in the door turning out very light at this angle) and then post-processed this one, pumping up the contrast and brightness a bit to make it white. I'm still working without a macro ::whine:: but bugs are fun . . .
