The seashore earwig is a species of earwig in the family Anisolabididae. The species was first described in 1846 by Adam White. This species has a blackish-brown body with brown-yellow legs. It has two light brown spots on its head, close to the inside of each eye. Its abdomen is widest at the seventh segment. It is flightless. It is native to eastern Australia and New Zealand. Similar both ecologically and taxonomically to the maritime earwig, this species is commonly found on beaches under stones and debris. It is a carnivore, feeding on millipedes, flies, and isopods such as woodlice. Like most other earwigs, the females care for their young during development, and the larva go through five instars before becoming adults. The species also has a negative phototaxis, meaning that it tends to move away from a light source.

Ocybadistes knightorum is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae, first described in 1994 by Trevor A. Lambkin and John F. Donaldson. It is endemic to New South Wales. It has a very limited distribution in the Boambee area. The IUCN Red List lists Ocybadistes knightorum as an endangered species, because of its limited known distribution, and its habitat under threat from weed invasion, sea-rise and continued development. The butterflies are restricted to coastal grassy open-forest areas, that are usually next to mangroves.
