We are equals in that. I couldn't name a genus of millipede off the top of my head. Certainly not likely to come up with even a remotely close ID.
All I can say is orb weaver on the ID, but I agree. It looks cool without the web being visible. I can just see a little of it in the 2nd photo where the probable mosquito is hung up. Event then, it still looks like it is flying along.
I tried to picture key it with Google. I thought maybe those projections on the abdomen might set it apart, but I couldn't come up with anything even close using "common orb weavers of Australia" as a search term.
An ant I saw in the campground. I didn't notice the hair until I got the pics off the camera. Maybe some kind of carpenter? I just noticed there's something on its right rear leg. I wonder if it could be a parasite or maybe just debris it's picked up.
It is probably a mite. Looks like it from the bottom picture. Mites often hitch rides on insects. In fact, there are a few things things that will hitch a ride on insects. Pseudoscorpions hitch rides on beetles.
Awesome pictures!
Can you identify this, my apple tree has become infestated with them over the last 3 days.
Not a good pic I'm afraid my phone doesn't do close up very well.

Looks like a ladybird beetle larva. Definitely beetle.
They are a predominantly predacious group and the larvae are beneficial. They eat aphids and other pest insects.
Could you identify this white fuzzball?
I'm pretty sure it is a wooly aphid.
The name is used for a group of many different, but related species.
They live on plants, but generally don't rise to pest levels with the exception of the wooly apple aphid that can effect apple trees.
Thank you! I was just curious, not worried about infestation since I’ve only seen this one. It’s a cute bug. Wish I could keep it as a pet
If you could find host plants, pot them and cage in a terrarium, that might work. They alternate host plants though as well as reproductive mechanisms, so I'm not sure how easy it would be.
Madagascar hissing cockroaches are easier to keep and rather interesting insects.
I was only joking about keeping it as a pet but thank you for the tips.
