Possibly Amorphoscelidae: Paraoxypilus sp These little bugs are quite small and move very fast, so I cooled it down and put it on some paper in the sun to photograph it and got a great shadow. :)I don't see them very often because of their small size. This one was about 1/2cm.The eyes (again ) on this are just so magnificent. Photo of a pinned one Paraoxypilus tasmaniensis
