I haven't posted for a long time but finally have something to share. Apologies to the purely reptile enthusiasts but the local snake population has moved elsewhere since the ladies of the house got a CAT.....groan!!
The kids and I have spent quite a few evenings scratching around in the little spruit behind the house and have been quite fascinated at what can be found there if one is prepared to look at little more closely.
Tailless Whip Scorpian - Daemon variegatus?
Trapdoor spider?
Fishing spiders - Thalassius spp. Some of the biggest I have ever found!
With a 'froglet' .... and it is not going to let go .....and it didn't!
Another potential victim?
Nasty but strangely beautiful - an unusual paddled-tail centipede
House visitor - Not something the Wife was happy to find in passageway in the middle of the night!!
Common Baboon spider - Harpactira sp.??
Local crabs - small and BIG!
Velvet bug?
Leaf bug of sorts - very small
Glow worm
Will post some photos of frogs 'n snakes next!!
