Here are a couple I missed when I put up last weeks pictres.

A Long Legged Fly.

And here are the ones from Sunday; there wasn't much around, just a couple of Net Winged Beetles....

and a Hoverfly, which I've identified as Asarkina africana.

These are my pictures from the past week or so.

Brown ants with what may be Planthoppers. Is this a symbiotic relationship?

A Garden Locust nymph.

One of the thousands of Brown Veined White butterflies that have been flying through our area over the past few days. They are on their annual migration from the West coast to Madagascar.

I have no clue what this is.... The nearest I could find in the Field Guide to Insects of SA was a Hanging Fly or Cranefly.

A Bee in a Morning Glory flower.

Banded Blowfly.

A Grasshopper/Cricket/Katydid nymph.

A African Grass Blue butterfly.

Grasshopper.

A tiny Gecko.

A Pugnacious Ant.

NOT FOR NAN....

A Jumping Spider.
