Nothing would please me more than to do the same - sell up and move to the lowveld (but not too close to RP)

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.

The spider has headlights and parking lights
How does the damselfly manage to fly with such a long tail
And a very small Guttural Toad.
How big is a very small toad?
