Interested to find out the identify of these, as I'm pretty sure I had them in my native grassland garden recently. I just couldn't get a good photo of them.

I can't give a name for this species. I can see that it is not Lipotriches australica, but there has been no recent revision of the Australian Lipotriches speciesand the original descriptions for most other species are inadequate for reliable identification.
