Hunting cannot be considered a sport as all contestants in a sport should know they are playing the game!

Wonderful! Thank you!

This could be a Common Mantid, but as for species Taken in Kruger Park.

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
Here are some little bugs -- wasps? flies? -- for which I need ID help. These were seen at Olifantsbos in the Cape Point section of TMNP in early January 2015.

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
arks, the small ones are either Apidae or Flower Bees/Sweat Bees in the family Halictidae
The one in the pink Carpobrotus, resembles in shape a Ceratina
The white-faced one perhaps another Allodapula variegata
The small one in the yellow sourfig might be in the subfamily Halictinae and Lasioglossum
But this only a guess
