    No, don't do that, Strongy, as it would very likely be one that I can't ID! :scratch:

    I saw these on Komodo. When it looked as though some of them were starting to take an interest in me and were crawling on my shoes I decided to leave the area :hehe:.

    Like your golden ants, Shiney, but just love your pretty grasshoppers/crickets! :gnthb:

    The second pic is great, can even see that the little fella hadn't shaved yet. :hehe:

    Well caught Marley and Woo! :gnthb:

    We heard, unfortunately didn't see, a bee in our garden yesterday as well. Not seen any butterflies yet though, but lots of ladybirds and one caterpillar.

    Great photos everyone :gnthb:.

    I have seen quite a few very big (bumble?) bees in the last week but no butterflies yet. I had to stop mowing the lawn the other day because of a lot of ladybirds crawling on it.

    I've seen two butterflies in the meantime, a Cabbage White and a yellow one (perhaps a Clouded Yellow?).

    The frogs came a couple of days ago and we found this couple on the lower patio. After taking some pics, I carefully picked them up and put them down near the edge of the pond.

    The bottom one had a large growth above the right eye.
