It is truly interesting how many insects you can see if you stay alert and keep your eyes open. They are everywhere!

Not where the local councils have given permission to bulldoze 82 acres of trees and strip the top soil just so they can build side by side housing for 10,000 people. Sigh… there’s not a sound on Sundays. During the week the only buzz is more bulldozers, trucks and the banging and crashing of tuck contents slamming onto a rock hard ground. 😦

Excellent selection of insects! Some I have not seen before: Katydid and the praying mantis are new to me!

The katydids are loud, and the praying mantis are ruthless and efficient predators.
