KNP Over Many Years

[Lisbeth]

Did the giant kingfisher manage to swallow that biiiig fish?

[Kesheshe]

Yes it did manage to eat that fish but it took awhile.

Just to change it up a little I will post some of the smaller things we have spotted over the years and return to the birds later.

The flutterbyes are the best!

Some names for your Smallies, Kesheshe


Plain Tiger or African Monarch Danaus chrysippus


African Common White Belenois creona severina


Darkling Beetle Anomalipus sp, I think


Might be Hycleus oculatus Blister Beetle


Male Red-veined Dropwing Trithemis arteriosa


Most likely Large Copper Dung Beetle Kheper nigroaeneus, Scarabaeus nigroaeneus


Armoured Ground Cricket Acanthoplus armativentris


I love these small things, all of them - lovely photos, Kesheshe and Penny


What is the thing in the mud water

Toko thanks for the ID's. I guess I need to set you more of a challenge.

If you have some blue damselflies, flies or grasshoppers I will , Kesheshe (I think )
