I reckon that is Achaea echo. Compare images at AfricanMoths.

There is some turmoil in the status of Noctuid families and subfamilies and I propose we follow the conservative scheme reflected in EOL.

Noctuidae : Catocalinae : Achaea

You'll see that is not in agreement with AfricanMoths: Erebidae : Erebinae : Achaea that follows the scheme whereby Erebidae is split off from Noctuidae.

You are right. Looks good to me Have changed the entry!

and lastly, some kind of Weevil.

Bronchus sp.?

[wynand]

I think this may be a Shieldbug (Stinkbug).

Tortoise Beetle
Family: Chrysomelidae
Subfamily: Cassidinae

[wynand]

Could be a kind of Fungus Weevil, family Anthribidae. Some have short snouts (but I could be very wrong).

How about Attelabidae for this one, the square elytra would point to this family

I'm beginning to think Chrysomelidae. Not a weevil.

Ja according to this image subfamily Hispinae, or newer classification: Cassidinae, tribe Hispini.

Bronchus sp.?

I concur.

There has been an explosion of Damselflies in my garden after the rains last week.

I think this is a Common Threadtail

I think, this is a female Slate Sprite
