This was a mothers day gift from my son. He had found it (dead) in a Lachlan garden, put it in a box and hurrah! I'd never seen one before so I was really excited. These emerge over winter, and this species is a Tasmanian endemic. I've taken a lot more angles and detail for our website: tasmanianinsectfieldguide.com/hexapoda/insectsoftasmaniah...
