One weekend I was asked to join a friend of mine in a private game reserve to go bug hunting and naturally I do not need to be asked twice.
The place is called Leeufontein which translates to Lions Fountain but it has been many, many years since a lion was actually seen there. We arrived just after sun up and found that there were miles of paths we could walk through.
On of the first things I found was this…..can you make out what it is?

Yes, a Stick Grasshopper disguising itself as a piece of grass. :)

This Scarab beetle was amazing…..

I have never seen one so shiny that I could see myself reflected in it.

One tree was covered with these caterpillars. There must have been a few hundred of them.

With so much rain, dams of water are everywhere and it does not take long before waterlilies start popping out.
