Put some honey on a milk bottle lid to attract some ants and got this flat shelled snail as well. Never thought they would be attracted to honey
Today I've been on a bug safari in a short space of hedgerow being my house. So much to see if you look. So many quick moving spiders, and I felt compelled to tuck my jeans into my socks, just in case.
These bugs that look like ladybugs but are much meaner were swarming everywhere, meaning our trip was cut short.

I presume one of the large family of shield bugs by it's shape.
Not a great image but that was the best I could do in the circumstances.
This is a True Katydid, Pterophylla camellifolia. I'm probably too picky, but the true katydid posted is actually a MALE. Males of some katydids have elaborate subgenital plates that resemble a female's ovipositor, so it is really easy to make that mistake. The stridulatory area on the front wings (the brown triangle at the top of the insect in the nice photo) confirms that it is a male. Females do not have modifications of the front wings. Just keepin' you on your toes

Another bug shot from the other day which I had forgotten about! Not sure what it is, some sort of shield bug I think. The sun was shining brightly and was reflecting off his back making him look multicoloured! Thanks to Lady BH for the ID! This one is an early instar.
A Sundew Bug, possibly Setocoris droserae. It was perched on a Drosera stricticaulis. [Wandoo NP, Western Australia]
A really patient bug from the backyard, it´s been in the same branch for days. It´s pretty small, about 15 mm and is kind of smelly: it gives an ugly smell if you disturb it. That´s kind of a surprise since all the smelly bugs I have seen before are plain brown instead of yellow, maybe it's a matter of gender or this is a completely different specie

This is a combination of images altered with Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop. I'm working on first choosing a shape, then getting it, (the black in this image for example), to move as a floating object. Then I move it over a larger image until I find a position, size, and rotation, so that the, (bug image in this example), seems most pleasing. Then I merge flat, or rastorize, to fuse the 2 layers.
Development for the bug poster I had to create so I started looking at different patterns that I could apply to the bug and different colour schemes to the bug to see if it gave a different effect or feeling when certain colour schemes were applied.
