My last thread seems to have gotten a little long, so I thought I would rather start a new one…
Anyway, the last couple of months have been quite good around the Western Cape in terms of finding good stuff out in the field – here are a few of my finds since the beginning of September 2012. It’s been awesome to finally have some decent activity again and I hope it continues for a good while still… I even managed to find a couple of species that I had never seen before, so I was well chuffed…
