Third trip back to the road reserve chasing more photos of the White-banded Grass Dart, and finally after following one darting here and there, one was spotted perched.
Native bees have been sparse, this Lasioglossum calophyllae was a welcome sight.
The third keeper from the outing was an orchid dupe wasp, Lissopimpla excelsa.
Leaf-curling spiders are starting to become noticeable around the garden.
The trunks of the garden eucalypts are always a productive source of photographic subjects, and one Red Gum never fails to deliver the goods. Servaea incana is often seen there, this large individual has captured a neighbour, a comb-footed spider.
This flattie has to remain unidentified.
Two hoppers, a planthopper nymph, Ledromorpha species.
and a photogenic Flatid Planthopper, Siphanta hebes.
