Bugs in my garden #2 -- Melbourne, Australia.
🐛 BUGS IN MY GARDEN 🐞
This first bug is a Huntsman spider. These guys are harmless but can get BIG! Bigger than your hand big! They have been the cause of many car accidents. They like to drop out from behind your sun visor and run across your windscreen.
A spider fly or "small headed fly".
This was a mission to find the species name. I found one image of a similar insect, almost identical except the one I found on google has a metallic shine. These flys maggots grow inside of a spider and slowly eat it from the inside out! Thats where it gets the name "spider fly".

Praying mantis!
Lacewing.
The larva of these guys are ugly little suckers. Ferocious to!
Grasshopper!
This is my favourite photo of the day. A fruitfully chilling next to a gum nut cap.
Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoyed the photos. They were taken on a Canon powershot sx430. I'm still getting used to the settings so any advice given will be received with a smile!
You have one scary garden. =)
I need to mow the lawns.
very cool! :)
Cheers mate!
oh woooow. Is it hard to get a photo of these creatures around your garden. How much shots did it take to take these perfect photos?
I have a morning glory vine in my yard and there is always something crawling on it. I only take 3-5 shots and hope for the best. There has been a lot of missed opportunitys though. Zooming right in and the bug flies off b4 you can click or the shot was just that little bit out of focus. Its all a lesson I guess. Good fun.
you took great photos. a pro perhaps :) will try to look for some creatures around our yard sometime. Thank you
No pro. A new camera though, that probably helps. I bet there is a lot around your yard if you look hard enough!
