Grasshopper Firetail is a legacy common name for this cicada. I have updated the common name.

Did AI identify this as a grasshopper? It looks like a cicada species to me

Ha! Thank you. ;-) I was (mostly) joking. ;-) I think the jewel beetles I saw will have to have a spotted by you. ;-)

newly emerged, not hardened cicadas. The Red Wattlebirds used to grab the newly emerged Greengrocers, and smash them up into pieces to eat where I lived in Melbourne. My brother is concerned for his Greengrocers in Geelong that are being grabbed by his resident magpies.
