Found this larva in Acacia paradoxa. Unfortunately it died during my attempt to raise it to adult.

Accidentally reared the larva, found it in some leaves in a petri dish where I was aiming to grow slime mould. Found the adult in the container on 9/8/23.

This sighting is part of a sequence where an adult female that had been attracted to a window light was placed in a container on 24/5/2020 and produced eggs. Some of which were attached to some Acacia mearnsii that had been placed in the container. (click on one of the tabs to see all of the sightings relevant to this sequence)
The first larvae found emerged from the eggs was on 25/8/2020. As the larvae got bigger, they were separated out into separate containers to avoid overcrowding. It was not until 25/01/2021 that any larva formed a cocoon. Some larvae were slower developing and it wasn’t until 10/04/2021 that all of the specimens finally completed their larval stage. It was only 3 days later (13/4/21) that the first adult moth emerged. Adults continued to emerge until 5/7/2021.

galls found on drooping mistletoe growing on allocasuarina tree.
This larvae was found on the outside of a gall (maybe emerged from hole in gall). It then pupated and a tiny grey moth emerged.
First larval record on March 8. Moth first noticed emerged from pupa on April 7.

galls found on drooping mistletoe growing on allocasuarina tree.
This larvae was found inside the gall. Maybe a wasp?
there was also a moth emerged from a similar gall too that can be found by putting this number in the search field 'description/tags'

Velvet-ant Ephutomorpha lateralis male, Taroona, Tasmania, February 2016. iNaturalist doesn't recognise this species, even though it's on the Atlas of Living Australia: https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:7ea92463-f647-4332-a236-a071f5631c9d

Very small, and different in colour pattern to the various mutillid species I commonly see at this site. When I first noticed him he was fighting to free himself from a spider's web ... which, after much twisting and writhing, he did (photos 2 & 3).

Appeared to be searching for something, moving back and forwards along a leaf, then flying to another leaf and repeating.

In a scaevola, covered in pollen.
Was hoping to take better shots later on but the weather changed.
@suecee - does this look similar to your recent sighting?
