  1. Four insects attracted to light in Cairns, Queensland, 31 August 2014, three #moths and a #ladybird:

    Leucania leucosta (#Noctuidae: Noctuinae)

    Olene cookiensis (#Erebidae: Lymantriinae)

    Microthripa baeota (#Nolidae: Chloephorinae)

    Microcaria jansoni - a #ladybird (#Coccinellidae)

  2. I hit the character limit but image 2 includes even more.

    Among other things:

    Two #Noctuidae right next to each other. One (nearly black) is a member of the diverse #Proteuxoa / #Thoracolopha group (I suspect the latter genus but I don't recognise it) and the other is the common green-blotched moth #Cosmodes elegans

    The #Geometridae with the black stripe along the length of the wings is #Scioglyptis chionomera

    Below the hawkmoth is a gum-leaf skeletoniser #Uraba lugens (#Nolidae)
