Hi Cathy,

We hope to add spiders and insects before Jun 30, more to come in this space. I won't delete this record, but we'll have to leave it in the Unidentified pool for now. More to come in this space and thanks for your report.

Cheers Aaron.

Cathy while you wait for Canberra Nature Map to add insects you can use the Bowerbird site run the Victorian Museum.

Your photo is of an orange-bronze stink bug (Musgraveia sulciventris) a sap sucking bug that can damage citrus trees. i suggest you remove them by hand. My chicken loves em, if you have chooks.
