Smiley … Gecko, hunting in the garden at night.

*Click on pictures for bigger version …

Weevil on a rope, strung up to train the passion fruit vine along.

Night-time cockroach eating a dried black plum staked in the garden. Ever hunting antennae.

Another resin bee recovered from the watering can. It takes a while before they can fly again.

Longhorn weevil at sunset on the sunflower stalk. Not yet dark enough to be active.

Small katydid untangling its antennae on the crocus.

Orb weaver spider casting a thread into the night to begin making its web.

Fly on the butterfly bush, enjoying a nectar laced diet.

Longhorn under the light at night. Within range of a prowling gecko.

… of a few creatures from the garden.

Wandering at ease in the nature, see what happens there.

What a wonderful range of creatures and wonderfully photographed.
And it’s such a good time of year for backyard (or frontyard) exploration

  Thanks Roz. Spring or autumn, here in bris, is usually best. Nothing likes the hot summer that much, some bees maybe. But flower food dries up, more or less, without constant watering.

  If their web from previous night is destroyed, soon after dark they will cast to start a new one and it’s just a matter of knowing where and when to look.

I especially enjoyed the spider casting her web, and the fly on the butterfly bush. Always a delight, Mark!
