I found this in my yard, in qld australia. Just wondering if anyone knows what it is. It appears to be made by insect or something is my guess? It's very pretty, orange colour with black spots that when viewed at an angle look like bright blue/purple glitter.
Thanks!

My guess is a Adult Cotton Harlequin Bug wing.

I would have guessed it was someone's fake (but elaborately done) nail that had fallen off!

Is it flat or cylindrical? If flat(ish) and curved, I'm leaning toward Murky's theory

Thankyou for the responses!
Looking at the picture I can see how it could look like a nail. 😂

Looking at the harlequin bug, I think there is a very good chance that could be it. Nice spot Krobra!

It is more cylindrical, it is extremely fragile and thin. It flattened out a bit while I was touching it and taking photos. 🙂
