I think the other one could be a Leafcutter Bee (Megachilidae)!

Thanks Okie! I understand completely, I only comment when I have something to say! I'll keep posting here as long as the number of views increases $\O$

The lack of traffic in Jo'burg at this time of the year is great. It allows me to get home before it gets dark!

A Stink Bug or False Stink Bug.

Spot the spider. This Daisy flower is around 3cm in diameter.

Here it is, a bit closer!

Here's another Crab Spider.

And a nymph of some kind; seen along with some small black ants.

Here's a lizard hiding in a old log.

I always try to do a quick sweep of the garden at weekends in the morning and afternoon. This is what I found on Saturday morning.

A Lunate Ladybird larva.

An even smaller Crab Spider; these are really hard to spot.

The same spider but closer.
