 YAY, you have done it again, I always wonder with their long bum that they dont topple over 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

Oh Thank You very much Gwen Cheryl and Val..
I tell you its getting harder to get into some of the places where these insects prop, and they are so fast when moving around just as well they stay still for a while so I can get some pics

That's a pretty one. I have no idea what its name is. If you haven't found it by morning I'll have a look then. Nights are always short on time around here.

Thanks Gail.. I thought I would try another site as some of those pics on the brisbane insect site are not the best for ID
