I don't know who made this meme but I feel it's probably quite an accurate representation

Apparently I am not permitted to move for the rest of the day - I have become furniture

This poor guy was buzzing the deck roof & became covered in cobwebs,wings stuck together. It was huge, wingspan ~5". Some delicate work with a paintbrush & straw cleaner & they were good to go. There's still some cobweb in this pic, but I managed to get it all off - they live to fly another day.

Errol has been identified! They are a Podocanthus typhon, a pink winged phasmid. I won't be handling Errol as I respect Errol's boundaries, but if I did, I could reveal beautiful pink wings as below (pic by Magda Reardon, found on Pintrest)
What a delightful visitor

A side view of Errol - they are very chill with flash photography

Morning - found this delightful beast at the front door this morning - I have named them Errol... any entomologists care to give Errol a proper identification? A phasmid of sorts but exactly what kind? They're about 20cm long. Located in the Blue Mountains (on my verandah!)

It's a portent of doom - I actually used the old bananas and made the banana bread.

From my page to a day calendar - courtesy of the outstanding @effinbirds.com - this seems remarkably prescient (it's the 14th where I am)

I cannot credit the creator as I don't know who made this meme (I did search), but it makes me smile everytime I see it ...

There is a lot of this

Because it is Friday and everything is kind of shit - have a pun

It's #Caturday!

This is Yuki from the shelter - she's a sweetheart with the sweetest squeak meow. She's very shy.

Stay out of the ridiculous heat - put water out for the wildlife.
