A stick insect on a Cymdibium suave in the bushland of northern Sydney Australia. (I have no knowledge of the relationship between these two species)

Close encounters of the gardening kind...I came across the weevil while I was weeding yesterday. It was hanging upside down, pretending to be dead, but it gave itself away by wiggling it's antennae. Apparently what looks like an eye isn't an eye, and I clipped on the macro lens to get a better look! The spider's egg sack blew down from somewhere, empty apart from a couple of tiny discarded skins. Last image is a fuzzy leaf of Greater Mullien. #weevil #australianinsect #gardening #macro #nature #naturephotography #backyard #backyardwildlife #spidereggsack #greatermullien #blanketleaf #lookcloser (at Moyston, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUB1qTrh9Xu/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Repost @wannabe_entomologist ・・・ So, proof that grasshoppers will bite. This “little” gal was feeding on a friend’s avacado tree (leaves). First bite I’ve ever had from a grasshopper. For the record, it hurt zero. I admire her chutzpah. #entomology #insect #insects #grasshopper #orthoptera #valanga #giantvalanga #bugs #valangairregularis #australianinsects #wildlife #nature #love #naturelovers #biology #zoology #naturelover

Forget the songs, forget the decorations, forget the sickly sweet food items dyed in red and green, the true herald of the Christmas season are these cheeky fellas. Christmas Beetles. Genus Anoplognathus. Once I peek just one of these golden gals stumbling about, and only the then, will I consider putting up a Christmas tree, dust off the Mariah and stop trying to brawl with Shopping Centre Santas. Sadly, there’s no Christmas Beetles in the US so I’ve had to make my own. #Anoplognathus #christmasbeetle #australianinsects #cardboardandcableties #exceptwithoutcableties #annapolis #houlart #houl (at Art Things) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIrLt6VhtUr/?igshid=a5ldc1qzmrfp

Some grasshoppers from the outback of Australia.

A couple of visitors to our house. The microbat was peacefully sleeping in a curtain on our verandah when I decided it should come down for winter and go in the wash...the curtain, not the bat. I didn't see himher until after I tossed it on the floor. Of course I apologised, asked for a couple of photos and put it back more or less where it had been. The insect (a fly?)seemed to be enjoying the lime marmalade spilled on the outside of the jar. It was maybe 4 or 5mm long, and thanks to the clip on macro lens @introspectionillustrated gave me recently, I was able to get stunning (and slightly revolting) closeups! Maybe @zokai_official will be inspired?🤔 #macro #nature #naturephotography #microbat #brighteyes #backyardwildlife #australianbat #australianinsect #curtains #fly #newtoy (at Moyston, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO92OetL5Uv/?igshid=84uety5v3ech

#Repost @wannabe_entomologist ・・・ Absolutey spewing I missed them hatching!!! 😭😭😭 Annnnyway, here are the Assassin babies we just revealed were in the weird eggs from a couple posts ago. Way back in my feed I have a Video (one of my most popular) of one of these egg pod clusters and assassin nymphs. Apparently, they hang around the egg pod for a while, and even consume it! I’ve counted the eggs and babies, and am assuming there’s more to hatch,but not sure I can stay up to stalk them. 😴 (Haven’t unpacked my video camera, or I’d just set that up.) What do you guys think? Cute, aren’t they? #reduviidae #assassinbug #australianinsects #insect #insects #entomology #biology #zoology #love #nature #naturelover #naturelovers #australia #bugs #babybugs
