Re: Backyard wildlife
I managed to process last weekend's pictures just in time for this weekend 
The Silver Marsh Spider is still in the same area of the garden and getting bigger all the time.
A new butterfly, bright yellow on the top of the wings but not so bright when it landed.
Another new one was this Bee, which I suspect is from the Rediviva Sp.
A Carpenter Bee, this one looks like Xylocopa inconstans and not the usual Xylocopa caffra.
There are still some lost Cream-Striped Owl Moths around.
And here's yet another species of Jumping Spider that I haven't seen before.
One of the Looper Moths.
And another species of Bee.

Great catches, BluTuna.The photos of the bee are outstanding
Nice dry season form of Broad-bordered grass yellow Eurema brigitta brigitta
One can see the last pair of eyes very good in the photo of the spider, wonder if he was observing you

I don't think the Jumping Spider had noticed me at that time, when she did, she jumped to the ground and hid.
