A dead dragonfly on my doorstep one morning

It turned out to be a new one :~) I'd seen the Eastern Evening Darner before, but never this Northern one. . . . . . . photo KR

Macromitrium hemitrichodes, possibly

From Flora of Australia, Vol 51: "The leaves have a characteristic 'crook' when dry with the costa bending and the apex bent downwards and exposed to the side of the leaf." I think that's what I've caught in this shot. It is the most common moss in the NE of NSW and the SE of Qld, but difficult to distinguish without mature capsules. . . . . . photo KR

Huge grasshopper, of a kind I've not seen before

70 mm, head to tip of wings. ID help appreciated. Thank you very much, speech path girl, for the ID. Interesting 'shields' on the sides of its head:~) . . . . . . photo KR
