This bug was so small I could hardly see him on these Bouganvilla flowers.
A stinkbug in its developement stage.
Towards afternoon, the rain clouds came up thick and fast.
Caterpillars, soon to be moths, were all over these pretty daisies which they were feeding on.
Some bug lost his skin......
The smallest of crickets.
These gecko's only come out at night that is why their skin is so pale. This little fellow was crawling over my kitchen floor looking for bugs. I sure hope he got rid of a few mosquitoes for me.

We have lots of those geckos around our house and I also hope that they will make sure the mozzies don't get to me.

Hi Joan! I like your capture of the bouganvilla and the little bug. Your caterpillar and daisy photo is amazing - you always seem to notice these little creatures in Nature.
ReplyDeleteWe have quite a few guineafowls at our school...and talking about school...it's back to school tomorrow :(
What a lovely serie of pictures.
ReplyDeleteAs I already wrote I really love geckos:very ecological mosquito killers...
You really do have some nice photos here. I like the macro shots especially.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any recipes to share?
I need help.
I am trying to get some favorite family recipes from some of my favorite bloggers. I even started a new blog to hold them and I have already received some submissions and more have been promised.
I would like for you to type out your favorite family recipe. Nothing fancy, just whatever type is on your machine. Include your photo of yourself or of the dish you send or both. I can usually use your blogging profile photo if that is OK with you. Include the recipe.
I will post your recipe with your pictures and I am working on whether or not to include links. Links are no problem but so many people switch blogging services and that would make your link non-working, so I will probably not link your blog.
Send the recipe, with your photo and a photo of your recipe in a dish or whatever, to:

Thank you for your recipe.

Is that little cricket standing funny or is it really missing a leg? Poor thing. That can't be good for hopping.
ReplyDeleteI had a big fat lizard which made it home on my bedroom curtain for years and was very pleased about it for the same reason Jonker. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane. I am sue you are looking forward to today. Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteNo, they make too much noise to keep in the garden Philip. This was taken in the open veld near work. The mountain is full of them. And snakes!!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! It does Gaelyn. :) I am pleased we rather had rusks though, much tastier. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony. Poor things!! But I guess it would be a good place for them to get insects. Now if only we can teach them about electricity!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sreddy. It looks like the festival was great and I am sure that you will be pleased to get back after these long holidays as you must be bored by now. :) Just a few more months to go till those all important exams but I know you will do well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea. Thats what comes from scheduling things, you forget what is in other posts. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Abe. I have plenty I am willing to share and will put them together for you in the next couple of days. I had a blog with just recipes on it and deleted it back in December.
ReplyDeleteThat is VERY observant of you Craver!! Yes, he is missing a leg and now cannot rub them together to attract the ladies either. Poor thing!!
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at the things that you post...from the smallest to the large! And all perfect photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. :)
ReplyDeleteHave I ever told you how much I enjoy Guinea Fowls? I know they are a very common bird but I find them amazing!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've created a new blog, "in the wild", and I think you might enjoy what I've posted yesterday. :-)

Nice bug shots Joan! You even through in some bug eaters at the end!

Another diverse series - excellent Joan - what do you do with all of your photographs - hard drives of 1 terrabyte don't last too long nowadays when one is a busy snapper!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about liking them Jose as they are so noisy but I must say they are good at spotting danger and giving the alarm.
ReplyDeleteLove your new blog my friend!!
Ha!Ha! Got to cater for them all my dear Craig. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Zane. I bought a 80gig additional drive and take them in Medium size (about 3000 x 2000 pixels. At the moment I have over 30,000 pictures and it is taking up about half the drive so that is not too bad. A lot of the pictues I delete immediately if I see I cannot use them.
ReplyDeleteJoan: That was a fun collection of little critter to share. I do love the colorful guinea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. Sometimes days are like that and I do not get enough of one thing to do a whole post on it.
ReplyDeleteSome amazing stuff from you as usual, Joan, keep up the brilliant photography. You are an inspiration to myself and many I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt is very sweet of you to say so Seamus. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLots of goodies here. I need to go on a bug walk someday. Right now I'm searching for Butterflies that aren't here !
ReplyDeleteB.
Oh gosh Becky, I wonder why? Is it maybe to wet for them?
ReplyDeleteHey there is something I saw in the real life - the gecko. My sister breads them, and my brother got as a gift one of them. You know I was amazed about the ears, that you can actually see through them. Joan, images are getting better and better. Excellent collection. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna. They come in all shapes and sizes so I am not surprised that she breeds them. It is a wondrful hobby/business to have.
