Ok, Drhoz asked me if I saw any interesting bugs out at site to let him know, I've been stalking around with a camera, so under the cut, if the right buttons are pushed should be some photos of interest.

Last one is Hippotion celerio, a worldwide hawk moth, pest of taro, and pollinator of papaya

Big grey moth is an Endoxyla Cossid - wood-boring moths. Compare to this one - http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/coss/mackeri.html

Can't really help you with the phasmid, but you Katydid seems to be related to the Meadow Katydids, or Coneheads, but I'm far from sure. I might need to forward it to some experts I know, who might recognise it.

No idea on the lizard or the trapdoor spider, either :/

I don't have the right book here for the lizard, I need to visit my Dad and borrow the book I gave him, it would be in that. The trapdoor spider was a grey blur, a very large grey blur. I'm not sure I want to see it. I'll post some more for you when I'm near my other machine :)
