I was doing work in the garden and saw a few small mantis.
I caught one to show my son and daughter.



My daughter Eva holds him here


And it jumped on to her shirt :lol:
Setting him back there i found him.











I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

This fella i found on one of the plants on my veranda and snapped a few shots of him.
Hope you like the pics.
I used the Fuji Finepix E550 and no tripod..just point and shoot with this cam.

"Locust" is just a name for the distinct swarming stage of certain species of true grasshoppers, so unless that one was accompanied by a few million more individuals, it was not likely a locust.

ive been having this out with a friend on msn.
technically, and scientifically, nothing seperates locust and grasshoper in taxonomy, just common names.

I have always distinguished the 2 by size.

We get some massive locusts out near Cowra.

Those are some great photos BTW.

I was sitting outside on the veranda and was bored so i decided to take a few pics of the bugs that keep coming to the light at the veranda.
They are small insects and my camera is not very good at taking pics at nights.
Here are the best pics i got..what do you think?

I like the moth. It reminds me of a strawberry and banana smoothie...
