All Creatures Big and Small (Part 1 - The Small)

The Gods Must Be Crazy Happy :)
Oh boy... today has been one of those amazing days.
The first leg of my day saw me walking to the local shops, which always involves a pleasant walk through the park and for the past week or so, I've seen these little critters everywhere... hanging around the footpath, sometimes trying to make a dash to the other side, while others are content to just hang out in the grass, I assume eating... lol
When I first saw them, of course, I thought to get some photos but that then that evil voice in the back of my head piped up saying, 'haha, as if they'd still be here by the time you get back hahaha...'
When I first looked today, they were really hard to spot... cause, you know, nature... and I was feeling a little defeated... but then, I just had to look a bit closer and all of a sudden, there they were.
As you know, I usually record all of my (photographed) sightings of insects, wildlife and/or flora and upload the photos to my profile on a website called the Atlas of Living Australia and despite not being able to identify the species myself, I am hoping that other members of the ALA will be able to use the photos to provide a positive ID somewhere down the track.
EDIT: Stay tuned, Part 2 - The Big will be published tomorrow.
Apologies for the unintentional teaser... my original plan was to present all of today's photos as one big post but awww, after looking at my next lot of photos... I felt that I would not be doing this beautiful creature any justice at all, by trying to shove those photos on the end of another post.
NO, he most-definitely deserves a whole post, all of his own,
AND I'm pretty sure you'll agree...!
BUT, I have to break it into 2 parts, otherwise my clever title makes no sense. XD

And remember to keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!

Something new for me to see here. It's very beautiful.
thank you, but all the credit goes to mother nature herself... lol
What cool little insects and I must watch out for part 2 I am intrigued
I've always been intrigued with insects and being able to get up close with the camera has given me a completely new perspective; and always interesting to look at.
Ps. My apologies, I've just realised that I forgot to mention #wednesdaywalk in the body of my post... it must of been cut while rewording my draft... :\
NO worries about not mentioning Wednesday Walk I am not that hard and fast about it :)
I to am fascinated about insects and as you say more so since getting into photography and seeing them up close and personal :)
Oh wow that first shot! What a beautiful thing (as long as it doesn't try to touch me..)
Thanks for your comment, and I agree... stay on that side of the lens lol ;P
