Guess what I saw on the way from work back home. $O/\$ $O/\$ $O/\$ The most awesome sighting anyone will dream of seeing it KNP. I work at a refinery in Mpumalanga and around the primary area we have a small game reserve with a few cattle and hartebeest (remind me now of Mapungubwe). Besides the antelope you can spot many of the smaller creature like porcupine, jackal and even hyaena. Today as I approach the one exit gate in the secondary area I spotted for the first time in my life a serval. What an amazing sighting to see at 2 pm as you driving home. Unfortunately SO was not on my side with his camera and no pics to show. I tried with my cellphone but it got scared of all the traffic and disappear into the long grass. Wish I can have that luck again. $\O$

I think it's a weevil, but am stumped as to what it's trying to imitate?

Looks like a fruit, but that would not make sense?

SM, my stand is around 2000m2. We have Border Collies, small gardens get trashed.

I've just been away to Mount Amanzi for the weekend, you can view my report here https://africawild-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=134&t=3902
