Not as many harlequin cotton beetles about this year.
Has anyone got an abundance of this stink bug that they want removed? Would love to take them off your hands 💚

The new editions to the Bug Kidz family. Monteith leaf insects. So much like a leaf! Their camouflage is amazing! Just babies now, but will grow to the size of my palm. 💚

Beautiful butterflies - Love seeing these in my garden.

Celebrate NATIONAL WATTLE DAY / FIRST DAY OF SPRING

As well as being Australia's national floral emblem, Wattle plays host to 30 species of native Australian butterfly!

There are 12 species of 'Hairstreak' butterfly that depend on Wattle for their survival. Many of these are highly-localised – as they only use a few, or even a single, species of Wattle! (Several species of Hairstreak butterfly are classified as 'vulnerable' and 3 are classified as 'threatened')

In addition, 5 species of 'Jewel', 8 other species of 'Blue', 4 species of 'Grass-Yellow' and the majestic 'Tailed Emperor' also use Wattles.

Here are some of the most widespread butterflies that use Wattles: 1 'Twin-Spotted Line-Blue', 2 'Wattle Blue', 3 'Imperial Hairstreak', 4 'Moonlight Jewel', 5 'Tailed Emperor', 6 'Large Grass-Yellow', 7 'Amethyst Hairstreak'.

There is a link to 'National Wattle Day' and a list of Wattles suitable for gardens and back yards in the Comments of this Post

This lovely male grasshopper fell off of its branch. It held onto my finger whilst shedding his exoskeleton. Being his final stage to adulthood he grew wings. slowly pumping the blood until wings developed.BugKidz.com.au
