This one confused me a bit. Sitting in a patch of 2 types of midge orchids and some blushing greenhoods, and they sort of look like a combo of all! Black Mountain

The position of the leaf tip and the stripes on what remains of the dorsal sepals look like C cornuta, but something, probably an invertebrate, has been having a good chew!
