A side view of a transverse ladybird beetle scurrying across short green grass. The beetle is a bright redish orange with splotches of black across its elytron, a black thorax with some yellow splotches, and a small black head with big eyes. Its little black legs stretch out to crawl over the uneven grass A front view photo of a 28-spotted potato ladybird beetle sat curled up on the vein of a large green leaf. The beetle is very rounded, especially as it has tucked it self in as if to rest. It has a bright orange body with evenly spaces black spots over its elytron, a couple spots on its thorax, and only its two black eyes on its little head. It's body is covered in a fine fuzz as if flocked.

They're native to aus as far as I know! Maybe you've seen an adult ellipsidion before? They're commonly called a bush cockroach :D
A top view photograph of a brush cockroach on a green leaf. Its body is a long, oblong shape, mostly covered in its large wings, and it has long antennae. It has a small head mostly observed by its rounded, triangular shaped thorax plate, where the intricately veined wings sprout from and fold neatly over the rest of its body. It is mostly yellow, with black markings in the middle of its thorax plate and on the top and bottom borders of its wings.
