Hi, I live in Western Australia, and recently moved house, finding these bugs in the backyard right after moving in.. What are they? and are they useful or harmful? (There’s a ton of them in the lawn…)

Hi DN,
You have photos of a winged adult and immature nymph of the Gutta Bug, Physopelta gutta. We located images on the Geocities Australian Insects page. The Gutta Bug is a Seed Bug in the family Largidae.
