Grey planthopper, Anzora unicolor.

Fun fact: this planthopper is on the branchlet of a casuarina tree. The branchlets are photosynthetic - the leaves are the tiny brown triangles between each "article" of the branchlet. Counting the leaves would help to determine which species this particular casuarina is.

I found a few shreds of butterfly wing on my lawn, so I did what any sane person would and brought a piece inside to take a photo.

Possibly from a tailed emperor, Polyura sempronius, which isn't very common here in Adelaide.

Some sort of parasite wasp, Netelia sp.

There were dozens of these bright orange wasps on a plant - any time I'd move they'd all take off, fly around, then land and become ridiculously hard to spot despite their bright orange colour. Having my 6yo with me "helping" didn't make photographing one any easier.
