This is almost certainly a "Slime mould beetle" of family Sphindidae. But I can't enter the name, as the algorithm won't accept it, apparently assuming that I mean Sphingidae (which it obviously is not).

@WendyEM I've uploaded a photo from today - pic 5. I don't think it's D. clytysalis. It eats the whole thickness of the leaf rather than skeletonising and each pod only holds 1 cat.

There was a CNM sighting by S. Bittinger of a wombat sitting in front of its borrow on the east slope of Mt Majura. That was years ago, but I can't find the sighting in the CNM Wombat collection. The borrow had been destroyed by building illegal BMX bike tracks and jumps. Occasional sightings of wombats wandering around Hackett and by workers of the company who installed a gas pipe under the Blue Metal road on the west slope of Mt Majura more than 10 years ago but not reported on CNM.

Thought that might be the case Don (with regard to it being a release). Interesting I have been wandering Majura for 30 years now and never seen signs of them/it. One is occasionally seen near the AFP compound in the Majura Valley
