Here's what I saw yesterday evening:
Lucilia sp. - a beneficial insect for the garden. |
longhorn grasshopper - aka tree cricket. This is a nymph. |
Red aphids - fortunately, I've only seen these on a weed that has taken over some brickwork. |
Condylostylus sipho - female - long legged flies do not like the flash! |
Flesh fly - Sarcophaga sp. |
Harvestman - aka Daddy Longlegs. Not a spider - closer to a scorpion than a spider. |
Bombus impatiens - visiting my purple coneflowers |
I've never seen a dragonfly in the garden before, so this was a welcome addition to my collection... |
Another harvestman |
Cute leaf hopper - I've learned where these guys hang out in the front garden. |
No clue as to the moth or butterfly species, but this caterpillar is happily chomping on my crassula in the front garden. |

Super nice! Do I see an MP-E 65 in your future? (Answer: yes.)
Thanks, Bob -
Yes, I'm considering the MP-E-65. I'll be checking out the Macroscopic Solutions booth at Botany 2014. They have a system that looks interesting (probably way out of my price range, though).
