A sunny day, a nice leaf to have sex on, what more could two insects ask for ?

Have a really HAPPY day.

It seemed to have got itself caught in a spider web on some old bailing twine but while I was attempting to take its photo it managed to escape.

Help needed with positive ID - I thought it may be a midge full of blood but that is just an uneducated guess.

An ant that was not very happy I bumped the straw it was walking on.

Hovering near a daisy in the garden. A first attempt at photographing insects in flight

Goliath Stick Insect (Eurycnema goliath). Photographed this morning in the eaves of our verandah. You can't tell the scale from the photo, but it's a beauty - body is at least 25cm long.

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

It kinda looks like a grasshopper, but I'm not sure.

Some people call this a Hornet, some a Wasp. Whatever it is, this is a big insect.

Artipe eryx horiella 綠底小灰蝶

First greenbottle fly of the year. Seen lots of bluebottles about but this was the first greenbottle fly

This spider was just outside my front door, happily content, enjoying the warm summer sun...

Because I had to stand on my front door steps to take this photo I could not use a tripod...
