Found a very important feature today 😌✨
When moving slowly, my character discovered the ancient art of Quantum Trembling ⚡(？)
It's too funny to fix immediately 😂
Any name suggestions for this “technique”?
(I promise it will be fixed… probably.)

While #bugoftheday was fun, it was also very draining to do it every day. I think just posting when I feel like it or when I find something cool suits me better.
As such, here's something I found today. I'm not certain what this is, but it kinda looks like some sort of assassin bug.

Day 120: A Fruit Fly (most likely genus Drosophila).
Although named 'Fruit Flies', these critters belong to a separate family (Drosophilidae) to the Fruit Flies that have become a major agricultural pest in Australia (Tephritidae).
Drosophilids are usually harmless.

Day 84: Today we're playing spot the bug 🔎
(Hint: you're looking for a green Garden Mantis)
This is on a Tree Dahlia. It couldn't have found a better match of plant if it tried.

Day 38: Midges. These might look like mosquitos, but they are in fact slightly different.
An easy way to tell the difference is mosquitos have long back legs that stick out behind them, while midges have long front legs that point forwards.
Also, not all midge species bite.

Love the colouring on this one. It's a bit faint in the pic, but this little beetle is black with red stripes.

Day 90: The Caper White Butterfly.
This is another species where the wings are more colourful underneath than above. Unfortunately, I don't have a pic of the upper sides of the wings, but they are mostly just white with a black border.

Day 129: Grass Lynx Spiders (genus Oxyopes).
Lynx Spiders are ambush predators, relying on sight to find and catch prey.
These guys also have distinctive long bristles covering their legs, which are just about visible in the photos (you might have to zoom in).

Day 138: A tiny Mantidfly (possibly genus Campion).
I found this little lacewing on a clothes peg a few years back while I was hanging out some washing. My sister helpfully added her fingernail to the picture to give it a sense of scale.

Day 39: Since I mentioned them yesterday - Mosquitos.
See the way their long back legs poke out behind them.
The 1st pic is a male, the 2nd is a female. You can tell as males have feathery antennae to detect females. They don't bite either, only females do, to feed their eggs.

Day 71: A selection of Green Blowflies. I love the way their metallic blue-green exoskeleton shines.
Unfortunately, their life cycle isn't so beautiful, with maggots feeding largely on dead animal tissue. Sometimes, they also infect living sheep, which isn't pretty. Trust me.

Day 107: A Huntsman Spider - an arachnophobe's worst nightmare (marked as graphic media for this reason).
More specifically, this is the Badge Huntsman, a name which refers to the dark 'badge' they have on the underside of their abdomen (just visible in pic 1).

Though they are a bit different to yesterday's bug, these two grasshoppers belong to the same genus as it, possibly even the same species.

Day 49: A rather weird Longicorn or Longhorn Beetle.
The name longhorn is a bit misleading as it refers to their distinctively long antennae, not actual horns.
These beetles tend to have pretty sizeable mandibles as well, and can give a painful bite if threatened.

Day 21: A Sand Wasp (which I mistook for a Blue-banded Bee at the time).
These wasps make nests in sandy soils, either alone or in small groups. This one was part of a small group that nested in my driveway a few years ago.

Day 160: The Bogong Moth (Agrotis infusa).
I've had this photo for 5 years without even realising that it is an endangered Bogong Moth. It makes me really happy to know that such an important species would visit our farm. Hopefully, I'll see more of them one day.

Another exotic species imported into Australia as a natural pest control. This is so much better than using insecticides. Plus, who doesn't love seeing a little ladybird going about their day?

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the taxonomy of flies to identify this one (there are literally thousands of species) but it's still cool.
