Bug hitches a ride



I was riding up one of the many switchbacks on the mountain bike track at Mt Annan when up behind me comes a faster rider, who could that be but Stephen.  He was on his last lap so he did not scream by but stopped to say hello. At the same time this bug, a Amorbus Alternatus landed on Stephen to be admired. Beautiful colours at the moment whilst it is a juvenile in a few days it will turn into a more typical tip-wilter.
Thanks to Martyn a naturalist at Australian Museum for helping with identification.
