ID confirmed by molecular and morphological work carried out by MPI, which has also confirmed the plant the specimens were found on as bay laurel (Laurus nobilis)
images taken at various points along the same hedge bordering the cemetery along Vickery St, from 5:46pm-6:09pm
they all come from the cemetery side of the hedge
same location as https://inaturalist.nz/observations/197749810
According to literature reviewed by MPI, the species 'is distributed in Europe (Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, Romania, United Kingdom) and Africa (Tunisia) and is found on a range of host plants including: strawberry trees (Arbutus unedo); heath (Erica); myrtles (Myrtus); oleander (Nerium oleander); mock privet (Phillyrea); mastic trees (Pistacia lentiscus); oak (Quercus); Rhododendron; and butcher’s broom (Ruscus).'

I'd be happy to accept the AI/CV suggestion of Lyre Moth but I think not.
Brown House Moth?

chrisc描述
Two specimens in close proximity on trunk of Blue Gum.
Photo 5 gives indication of size - fingers are pointing towards specimen in upper right of photo.
Constantly moving, very rapidly, so hard to photograph.
Distinctive features include: short wings, broad flat 'thighs' on rear legs, iridescent sheen on various parts of body (see photos 2 & 3) and head/eyes (not showing in these photos).

Dead, has white fungal growth on it. Approx 20mm long.
Unsure what the small round things on it are, maybe fruiting bodies of the fungi or something else. This observation is for the Beetle/insect though

Found dead on windowsill. Clearly not Ancistrocerus - Orange bands on abdomen instead of yellow, and larger size. Probably not Paralastor either because this individual/species appears to have more orange on thorax than Paralastor. Updated Observation as https://inaturalist.nz/observations/157361249

invertebratist描述
Shell length approx. 2 mm.
Found under a basalt in the fast flowing part of Oakley Creek. This species was common in a small area but I doubt if this can be found anywhere in the creek even in a similar habitat.
The photos were originally taken on my finger and the background is edited. I have released the specimen after photographing.
