I think this may be a tick? Clinging to the top of a knee-height Allocasuarina

@MichaelMulvaney what stage in the life cycle is this? It is super funky looking!

This is the pupal stage a bit paler on top than usual so perhaps a fresh specimen/

@MichaelMulvaney very cool! Bungonia NP seems to be a good spot for bug hunting!
