See what's what down there, maybe add a few more to the list?

Away from the usual leipidoptera and odenata, my inverts knowledge is a bit lacking hence the reason for trying to finally identify a lot more stuff locally in 2013.

It's a male and you can see the prongs rising from his pronotum and sticking out either side of his head. It's one of my favourite insects and I've only seen it the once before!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01952785807539603397noreply@blogger.com
