God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Great shots, BT! The smaller carpenter bee version has suddenly taken a liking to our Vaal River cottage after many years indeed!
Magnificent boring workmanship...but what a mess!

Some more things I've found in my garden.
A garden Locust Nymph.

A grasshopper with enormous antennae.

A fly

and another tiny fly.

A pair of Common Metallic Longhorn Beetles on a daisy.

A dragonfly which may be a female Red-veined Dropwing.

This pile of debris is possibly a Lacewing Nymph.

A Hoverfly.

A Bee Fly.

A Robber fly.

A Glittering Jewel Beetle.

Finally, a tiny Crab Spider on a daisy.

Stunning photography BT!!!

Our stay at Bateleur was somewhat disappointing due to the severe closure of accessible areas at Rooibosrand, so I spent my free time exploring the surrounding areas in camp. Here are some of my "Bateleur Buddies" :
