Lovely waterfall

I like the coloured grass hopper (among others )

[Toko]

Just love the birds and insects - you made my day, BluTuna.

The little chicks are adorable

The dragonfly is also very elegant, but not a Common Tigertail, which would spot the eyes apart

The Common Dotted Border is a lovely butterfly, 10/10 for it ... and my fav is, of course, the wasp

Huge flower

A Garden Acraea

OK, NOT a Common Tigertail!

It looked like it was some kind of Palm Tree that generated the flower. I think that the one behind and left of the 'Triffid' is the same type.


Thanks for the other corrections and identifications - I was doing this from memory which is not a good idea!

Excellent! Thanks Toko! Looks like our postings crossed!

OK, I see Julia Skimmer in the Info Book, is it not an addition to that entry?

We have adult male and female, but the immature male is new, so I don't expect greenies to recognize it - and one day we will learn the tenerals
