This wasp was eating some sort of long green insect. I thought it was a caterpillar but perhaps it was a stick insect?

Found the three eggs shells in small hollow in foliage on a bank above a bush access road. Photos 4&5 show the eggs in situ. Looks like a dead stick insect in the leaf litter as well. Eggs maybe predated? This area has regular pest control, baiting and trapping.

Field Notes - Beautiful phasmid who was being attacked by birds! We think he's a male. Would love to know the species. Has a nice set of yellow and purple (?) wings and can fly a bit.

Not sure about the identification. Found in artificial Chatham Island Petrel burrow, associated with numerous weta. A large spider measuring c.90 mm in length. Rather reddish to my colour blind eyes. Such spiders are habitually called on this island Cambridgea annulata - so I place it here and await others conclusions. I did see sheet web spiders commonly on their webs the island at night and they sort of looked like this. This particular spider is reputed to have a painful bite.

Noticed on track as it was trying to defend itself from attack by a wasp. Amazed at how flexible it was when it curved the hind part of its abdomen around into a 'scorpion-like' posture to dislodge the wasp which was on its back.
Help with species ID would be appreciated please.

male and female stick insects mating on NZ flax. Clitarchus sp?? Female has 2 red protuberances, 1 each end of body, on 1 side only - tubercles? parasites? injuries? I have more photos; this is the most comprehensive with best focus.
