Richprins' Escapades to Marloth

[Lisbeth]

There is almost nothing that free food cannot make some animals do. Once I had a zebra on the doorstep; I am almost certain that it would have entered If I had not arrived

The leftover does not exactly look like " Poor Man's Food".

Great shot of the bee

Is the other insect a yellow Lady bug? I have seen one from time to time here, but a long time ago.

[Richprins]

Yes a yellow ladybug!

[ExFmem]

Marloth sounds like a little slice of Paradise for a quick getaway here and there. I just did a Google images search for yellow ladybug, and there are some really beautiful ones. I have Christ Thorn plants in my yard (called Crown of Thorns here), and they are so resilient as well as attracting lots of insects. Glad you have an appreciation of the small things as well as the mammoths .

Look forward to more entries

[Klipspringer]

Now you found something very exciting: A rather rare and very cool hover fly: Paragus capricorni

( Your beetle is the yellow variant of Lunate Lady Beetle)

[Richprins]

Klippies!



Can you add it to the insect book?

[Richprins]

There was also this tiny wasp!

Maybe 2cm?

And these butterflies which are quite common!

Poor Man's Food! Yummy!

[Richprins]

Then Dwarf arrived so it was


Next morning A Walk!

(Dwarf doing his field guide impression! )

There are only people at this house on very rare occasions...

I showed Dwarf the secret path which I had cleaned, he was suitably impressed!

[Lisbeth]

Nice cleaning up, but a pity that you have left all the twigs and small branches piled up on the path

A nice meal, but where is the bacon? and the eggs are a bit over-cooked

It looks as if Dwarf has put on a little weight

It's quite a big house, but it does look deserted

[Pumbaa]

Cute mongoose as well as beautiful giraffes

Thanks Richprins,

also love the red flower

Nice cleaning up, but a pity that you have left all the twigs and small branches piled up on the path

The branches are against erosion, Lis!
