Here are 3 Australian critters I saw on my run yesterday in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ. All are recent arrivals to the city and are spreading.
Little humped spiders showed up in 2014 and have since spread out to Pegasus, Leeston & Little River.
Passionvine hoppers showed up in Christchurch on iNaturalistNZ in 2016. They've exploded since & eat a wide range of plants.
Steelblue ladybirds first showed up in Christchurch in 2020.
