Where wild things are.

[acacia_pycnantha]

I thought i would start a thread where people can post pictures of some of the wild critters which they find in their gardens.

Only wild things, please. And preferably native wild things, so no kitties or puppies or kids (even though i know that these can be pretty wild at times

So, here's my bee. Actually Kennedia found it and it's not really ours.

It's Amegilla cingulata, commonly known as the Blue Banded Bee.

Isn't she cute?

Nice beetle. i think it's a type of shield beetle but don't know which one.

Or it might be a jewel bug. Do you live in Qld?

there's a beetle on this page which looks similar.

It is very windy here; all I could find in my garden was a pink hippo in the apricot tree and this little tiny fly on my lemon tree.  The leaf was moving in the wind.
