  1. Six-banded Longhorn Beetle
    (Dryobius sexnotatus)

    This rare longhorn beetle lives in old hardwood forests, usually in large, very old and decaying trees with scarred and cracked bark.

    Its sparse and widely scattered populations in the eastern U.S. have been declining sharply for years, and it is listed as threatened in some states.

  2. Four more insects from the #Malaise trap, Canberra, ACT, 26 August to 2 September 2022

    1. #Ichneumoninae sp. - I'll key out at least the genus soon.

    2. #Orthocentrus sp. (#Ichneumonidae) - probably the commonest #ichneumon #wasp (or set of externally similar species) in my garden

    3. #Pentacladus eucalypti (a #BarkLouse #Elipsocidae)

    4. #Lamiinae sp. (a #LonghornBeetle #Cerambycidae) - I always find these harder to identify than I would expect
