Very cool photo!

Thank you!

This is a great shot, but that many bugs at once feels a little creepy.

Thank you but thankfully they are only tiny!

wow an Australian Geographic moment .. well done

Thank you for your lovely comment! :)

Don't think we have these over here in the UK, reminds me of those from the film `Raiders of the lost Ark` ! Paul.

Ewwww ! but a brilliant shot.

From my garden

This lovely dragonfly was enjoying the nectar from a plant, growing in my pond.

Ready for take off!

From my garden

Taken at a local animal park. Glad there was a fence that separated us, he didn't look too friendly!

Even in winter, in Australia, there's something to enjoy at the beach. At this beach there are camel rides and four-wheel driving tours.

My daughter's cat is quite the character. It seems here that she is being a piece of popped-up toast out of a toaster!

Jewel Beetle protecting her eggs

I don't know what this beetle is called but it was on my pot plant and I haven't seen one like it since.

This lizard found it's way inside our laundry and was carried back outside.

Taken at sunset, out my back window, whilst there were bushfires in my area.
