A fruit fly that got into the department office. I want to do more insect macros this summer, I will need to use the larger lense on these guys.
Approx 100 mm from tail (bottom) to extended fore-legs (top of picture). A truely amazing insect! (From the Chatham Islands).
Fossil insect wing from the Westphalian B (Upper Carboniferous) of Westhoughton, Lancashire, England, UK.
OK, this one I can't work out - if anyone knows what it is I would be grateful. Found on the ground under large Eucalyptus viminalis. Only seen two in 5 years or so.
Unlike Polly the Polyphemus male I had a few years ago, this lovely lady doesn't have the huge "antlers". Her antennae are much smaller because it's the male who must detect her pheromones and find her; she doesn't have to find him.
Very camera shy and may be it was the speedlight therefore I made only 5 shots. I like this one best from this series.
This insect has me stumped. Its cute little face reminds me of a bee, but its body suggests a wasp, but there are bees that convincingly look like wasps and vice versa! This tiny cutie was fussing about on some carrot tops (Platysace linearifolia) and was a challenge to photograph because of its size and flightiness. I managed a few photos from different angles in the hopes someone could identify it for me! Found in Springwood, Blue Mountains, NSW.
