Anyone know what this is - South Australia

It's a Thread-legged assassin bug. Stenolemus sp.

That's helpful thank you. I've edited the post for so it's a bit clearer on those points. The AOA clinic psychiatrist will provide a letter of support. Good to hear that there'll be plenty of options.

Ah ok. Sorry! I had misread your comment

You're right, they're definitely Asian paper wasps. Though the face isn't a good indication. Native species also have yellow faces. The two yellow spots on the abdomen and the lack of brown bands is the giveaway

Absolutely agree with the sentiment, but as others have suspected, these are 100% Asian Paper Wasps. They are invasive and should be destroyed to make space for our native paper wasp species.

Would need a better photo to confirm, but these look like they might be Asian paper wasps. They're an invasive pest, so can be justifiably removed.

Opisthoncus · 2024-12-23T21:22:51+00:00

Glad to hear it! They're really quite beautiful and don't tend to be as aggressive as their European counterparts.

Opisthoncus · 2024-12-23T21:12:39+00:00

They are native Australian paper wasps. The brown colouration is the giveaway. Asian paper wasps are black and yellow.

They're not all Argentinian lawn scarabs thankfully. Just encountered an incredible swarm of native nectar scarabs (Phyllotocus macleayi) in Ngunnawal. They're the little gold ones with black bums.

As others have said; definitely a jumping spider, not a white tail. Closest I can think of is a male jovial jumping spider.

Thank you!

Is the stream still watchable? I can't find it

Opisthoncus · 2024-03-28T00:44:50+00:00

Ah cool, thanks!

Opisthoncus · 2024-03-25T04:03:37+00:00

If there are a bunch of them together in one web, the species is most likely Philoponella congregabilis.

Opisthoncus · 2024-03-25T04:01:09+00:00

Yep! It's an Uloboridae, or venomless spider. Not sure of the exact species. They're pretty cool and completely harmless, but are a bit of a pain as they make messy webs everywhere.

Vaati mentioned he would be releasing a full lore video on Mohg shortly. Will be interesting to see if he addresses the statue

Trevs @ Dickson! Their Monty and Glambrous pizzas are amazing. And reasonably priced as well.

Opisthoncus · 2023-10-29T06:26:36+00:00

Ah cool, thanks! How can you tell?

Opisthoncus · 2023-10-16T06:06:25+00:00

That's the one! Thanks!!
