Good Evening and Welcome to a Sunday Post!

Busy little weekend with more weather on the way. Actually, it's already started raining here. Timed beautifully though as I had finished cooking on the barbie and it started to rain as we sat down. Backyard frogs are loving it with a few of them in the yard now. Not going to be as bad wind wise but looking like being very week across the whole working week. Suits me fine if it clears for the weekend!

Tonight's pic is a pair of the smaller robberflies, Leptogaster species, and they are seen here performing some weird, downward position, upside down, back to front, ta***ic yoga, copulation routine! 🤣🤣Hurts my back looking at it!!

Anyway, that is me for this week. Back Wednesday for a Mid-Week Post. Until then, keep dry Sandgropers, and Happy Snapping! :-)

Good Afternoon and Welcome to a Mid Week Post!

Good week so far. Lots goign on as usual and a pretty heavy few days of weather on the way. I went nuts in the garden beds last night, workingwith a headlamp, to get a heap of wettasoil and dynamic lifter down to soak into the ground. We are expecting about 100mm (4") over the next few days. It needs to hurry up to soak this stuff into the ground, because the front area of my house smells like a wet, dirty dog and roadkill!

Tonight's pic is a tiny little robberfly I was watching flying back and forth to this stick on Sunday. It was a bit of a challenge, but I got this shot in the end. I am keen to get more pics of these with prey in their grasp, and I shall be on the lookout as always.

That is me tonight. Back Friday with more to share. Until then, Happy Snapping! :-)

Good Afternoon and Welcome to a Sunday Post!

Its peacock season again! Well, the early starter, secret spot, yes I am gatekeeping it somewhat, mungaich are back! So good to see some colour in the bush again after waiting 6 months to see the season start again. I am certain these are smaller than their scarp cousins, and they have a line instead of a dot in the void of the pattern on the opisthosoma. Super happy to see colour today and saw a few males too. No females that I could see. 1 ding d**g started to leg wave to a tree hopper nymph though. H***y fella! Overall it was super good to see them back. Lesson of the day though..... don't leave home without eating breakfast. By 12pm you'll be all woozy and light-headed! Duh. breaking my own rules I teach to others. Eejit

Pics all singles and me crawling on dirt trying not to get bit by the bullants was worth it. Back again in this space very soon, with food in ma belly, and snacks for the time out there, and hopefully get some better action shots when we find a female!

That is me for this week. Back again with more soon. Till then, Happy Snapping! :-)
