Re: Backyard wildlife
Now I've finished my Mount Amanzi TT, it's back to the backyard photos.
There are many Damselflies around, sometimes there are 3 or 4 on the same plant.
Another species of wasp, I think this might be Afreumenes aethiopicus. There are still several species of wasp in my garden that I haven't managed to photograph yet!
A hoverfly.
Cuckoo Bee.
An unidentified fly.
A Wandering Donkey Acraea Butterfly.
And a very small Guttural Toad.

WARNING : NOT FOR NAN!
This Jumping Spider has some beautiful colouring on its abdomen.
And headlight eyes add to their perpetually surprised expression.

Re: Backyard wildlife
Now that's a decent capture of the toad 
Spot on with the Wandering Donkey
The fly looks somewhat like a Drosophilidae
