Found this little guy just on my bed, looks like a type of ladybug to me, but I don't really know about these kinds of insects all too well.
Wondering what she is.

I live in Southern Tasmania and I have noticed these spiders I have never seen before clustering together in webs with the weirdest spikey egg sacs

Just snapped this picture of 3 small insects - completely still - in a park in south east suburbs of Melbourne. For scale the “cup” of the flower is about 12mm across so these “bees” are very small indeed. Would love to ID them or find out what they’re doing here!

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Caught and released this bull ant which came inside my place. See them most days in warm weather. They are solitary hunters. I have seen them prey on other insects.
It has been warming up now that it’s spring time here. My earlier post had someone saying it was a queen with wing scars, but I think it might just have some cobwebs from crossing the shed and house floor. We usually get the flying ants in late summer? Any thoughts?

A few critters from my walk today, Perth WA.
Would love an ID on the long fly(?), red isopod looking thing and the little green nymph.

I hope you like my collection 🐛🪲🦗🦋
Edit: I know nothing about most of them, so feel free to educate me.
Edit 2: thanks for the awards people. But I'm just happy to have found this subreddit with like minded people.

basically what the title says, i found a butterfly with a wing broken in several spots. it can’t fly at all, the best it could do was jumping off my finger and quickly gliding to the ground.
ive put it in an old fish tank for the time being with sugar water, sticks/flowers, and an open roof so it can leave freely if it so wishes.
is there anything more i can do to help save it? or is it worse off in the enclosure and i should release it entirely?
idk much about butterflies obviously so i appreciate any advice or comments, thanks in advance <3
