With the weather cooling, insects and the like are getting harder to find in the bush garden, these are a few snapped over the last couple of weeks. First a collection of little creatures found under a sheet of loose bark on a Yellow Gum, these are Psocids or booklice.
Thanks M J S for id.
There are still a few quite small jumping spiders to be found, probably this season’s crop.
Sandalodes superbus.
Opisthoncus? species.
There are still some wasps on the prowl, this is a female White-spotted Ichneumonid, Echthromorpha intricatoria. She uses her ovipositor to inject eggs into pupae of moths and butterflies, particularly the admiral family.
A wasp mating pair, male and wingless female.
A longicorn beetle that came to the moth light, Symphyletes nodusus.
And Phoracantha semipunctata, the Common Eucalypt Longhorn.
