It is not uncommon to see tomatoes growing in the wild in good seasons, presumably these have been spread during flood events as Carnarvon is an horticultural area and tomatoes are widely grown. Most wild plants have small fruit like cherry tomatoes possibly reverting back to original strains.

Today I saw these two Scaly-breasted Lorikeet juveniles together with a Rainbow Lorikeet flock and no adult Scaly-breasted Lorikeets. The two juveniles were sticking closely to these two Rainbow Lorikeets and were both food begging, vocally and physically, of the two adult Rainbows. However, after they watched the two Rainbows eat they would imitate the adults also eat the same food (sunflower seeds and pet lorikeet mix). The two adults were behaving towards the presence of the juveniles in the same manner as I've seen other Rainbows do so with their own offspring.
My suspicion is that the adult Rainbows overtook a nest site occupied by the parents of the Scalys. Then ended up unintentionally incubating the eggs left behind and when they hatched they imprinted and reared the Scalys as their own. I think this is an interesting case of Rainbow Lorikeets fostering the Scaly-breasted Lorikeets.
This observation is for the Scaly-breasted Lorikeets.

I think this is from Cassidinae but I can't find a match. There were eggs (I think) around it, but I'm not sure if there is any connection.
It looks like the coconut hispine beetle without the flanges.
