@rogerF I thought this cricket was a little unusual. Maybe Bobilla Illawarra? It's a very colourful little cricket. Is it identifiable?

Its a male nymph that makes it difficult but probably a Bobilla

Very interesting record, can treat it as the Calperum species, very similar or the same to that Canberra one.
