Honestly it does not matter where I look there is something big on the plants every day..
This one would have been 10 cms long and so hungry, not for long though.
Seen this one when I was feeding the Westerland Rose..
Tony smacked it in the head  Then gave it too the girls Yum they said.
Note the deflated head/face...
And the eyes have gone strange and the mouth is open

 that is why yas chooks are so fat  Onya Tony, would have been better on a hook to catch a trout
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

It did not have time to suffer one quick wack between Tony's hands it was by bye bye right off. Of course it died with a fully belly I think unless it was laying eggs.. Humm I wonder if they are eggs just below its right leg. I will crop a pic and have a look..
Not much in fresh water fish on line. I found out it cost $35 for a annual permit to fish in the 33 dams we have here, I wonder if they make you pay for the fish too.. But you dont need a licence to fish anywhere in Qld like you do in Victoria unless that has changed since we lived there.

If you forget the pest side of the insect , is'nt it a georgeous creature ,those
exquisite wings,. the whole structure so beautifully designed.
Maybe it was feeding on these

No not really Cheryl you either got it or you haven't...
I guess you are right Gwen all creatures have something good going for them.
I just wish 99% of them did not want to devour all my plants..
Gwen would you believe I have never seen a Centipede or Millipede anywhere in this garden.

I'll send you some centipedes Mary-Anne... they enjoy a feast of bugs
Great pics and I know what you mean Gwen... they are a beautiful in their own way.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.
