Uh-oh, looks like I better butt out on the insect IDs. Glad to see you are keeping an eye on the confirmed ones too Kim.

O. australis is smaller than G. musicus, and doesn't have the longitudinal crest on the pronotum. Nor does O. australis have the bright yellow on the hind wings of G. musicus, although this difference is only visible when the insects take flight.
