Yes, so we try to return to our relationship again... me, my garden and its inhabitants. I had an unfortunate fall about a month ago and hurt my shoulder badly. Now the damage from that accident has recovered to the extent that I can comfortably hold my camera.
A stekel of some kind (?) is the first individual to my humble delight to model like this after the new reckoning of time...

Thanks to Mark I now know this is a Thread Lacewing
This beautiful little butterfly is the Common Palmfly - Elymnias hypermnestra - which is found in south and southeast Asia. They love the shade and are most often seen flying in Palm plantations (as this one was) or among vegetation near palm trees. The Palm tree is necessary to these lovely insects because their leaves are the main food of the caterpillar. This one was seen whilst walking through a Palm plantation near our hotel in Khaolak, Thailand.

walking through the forest of Baest, an old nature reserve, I saw many ferns, a sea of green. Many insects were sitting on top of them. This beautiful moth Nemophora ochsenheimerella was one of them. A day active moth. Insects are beautiful
L'insecte est sorti de l'exuvie quelques minutes auparavant ; le liquide lymphatique est en cours de distribution vers les organes et cellules , ce qui donne cette coloration jaunâtre temporaire ( le sang des insectes ne contient pas d'hémoglobine et n'a donc pas la couleur rouge ) . La transformation va encore prendre 30 minutes environ , les rayons solaires aidant , puis la jeune libellule prendra son envol pour de belles aventures ( photographiques bien sûr ) .
I've spotted this guy in the mistflowers for several days now. I'm fairly certain it's a lacewing larva, but without its customary debris burden for some reason...
Looks like at least one of the nymphs I've been following has reached maturity. They're a lot cuter when they're babies.
Not sure what to think about katydids in the garden, but this is somewhat reassuring -
"Like other Orthoptera, katydids have chewing mouthparts, and most are herbaceous but rarely cause significant plant damage to crops or ornamental plants. You may find some feeding on leaves and flowers in your garden or on your potted plants, especially in late summer."
