Je suis rentré du jogging avec cette mignone insecte sur un bras... C'est une vraie folle! Elle aime se garocher dans le vide et attérir puis regrimper et se regarocher et semble vraiment adorer faire des cascades.

Seen at a very impressive display of carnivorous plants at The Calyx, in Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden.

in the garden today.

Not as many butterflies on my buddleia this year, I wonder what has happened to them

Common darter dragonfly (I think)

weevil

Tephritid fly Chetostoma curvinerve male. The day after the male on male fight, I managed to temporarily trap one of the males and do some focus stacks using zerene. You can see the fierce row of bristles they have jutting forward on their face. I think the males must lock these together in their head to head shoving matches
