From MyPestGuide:
Thanks for your report. You have photographed a juvenile centipede, Scolopendra sp (family Scolopendridae). To determine species we would need to examine an adult specimen under microscopy. The genus is widespread across Australia, excluding the very wet and very cold parts. All centipedes are predators and have a pair of biting mouthparts which contain venom, however even large centipedes prefer to use evasive behaviour rather than bite humans. Bites from large scolopendrid centipedes can being extremely painful and can last for several days. Localised skin necrosis can occur at the site of the bite. No systemic effects have been reported for Australian centipede bites and immersion of the bite area in hot water can relieve the pain. Kind Regards, The MyPestGuide Team

"Thanks for your grasshopper report. Your lovely photo is of the native grasshopper, Blistered Pyrgomorph, Monistria pustulifera (Orthoptera: Pyrgomorphidae). It is an endemic grasshopper to the drier areas of Australia. Less than 10% of populations are mid to long-winged, others are short-winged (essentially flightless). Primarily found on heavy clay soils along watercourses of depressed areas. It prefers to eat a wide range of generally toxic plants and often defoliates and kills them. Kind regards, MyPestGuide team"
