I never cease to be amazed at the variety of insects you are able to photograph in your garden. It must be a little journey of discovery every time you step outside. And some of the pictures are quite remarkable. Great job, Diane.
ReplyDeleteHa ha David I find something new in the garden almost every time I go out there and I love it. Thanks for the kind comment Diane
DeleteBeautiful critters from your garden. You have a very fruitful garden and you have green fingers. The fruits look so healthy and juicy! Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteNancy the garden grows well here now, the first few years was not so good but with plenty of digging and manure we seem to be able to grow most things now. Have a good day Diane
DeleteThat little hopper looks cartoonish with its eyes crossed. Seeing all you insects reminds me of Joan's bug posts, which I miss. I'm slowly catching up.
ReplyDeleteI also miss Joan's posts but I use her blog for identification especially with the South African photos of bugs. Don't think I will ever catch up!! Diane
