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

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).
