Recently on our Annual Members weekend we spotted this gorgeous collection of freshly emerged True Bugs. They had just hatched and are still sticking closeby to their eggs. In the next day or so they will start to disperse into the big bad bug world.

One of our regularly seen jumpers sitting at an all you can eat buffet of bug eggs. Imagine the delight this spider felt when she stumbled across this plate of eggs. She was so happy having a late morning brunch. Happy Salticidae Sunday! ◉ ◉◉ ◉

Recently on a Let's Go Buggin Night Walk we had a sudden appearance of this species. It's like they fell out of the trees and were on the ground! Perhaps it was mating season? The next night they were gone! Very curious!

One of the last of his kind to be seen this season. This stunning Creek Frog posed perfectly for me... before he jumped away and never to be seen again! 🤣 You to you boo! Happy Frog Friday! 🐸💚🐸

Spider verses Spider... clearly the Jumping Spider was the winner of this kill or be killed contest! They are the bravest little hunters and we often see them with prey on the morning walks, especially in the winter months.

Probably our most common weevil, or what I like to affectionately call them... lil chub chubs. Happy Weevil Wednesday!

It's Crabby Tuesday once again, and I found this cute couple (not really) on the invasive Lantana plant. This Crab Spider was about to pounce on this unsuspecting Lacebug which was tiny at about about 3mm. Happy Thomisidae Tuesday!

Moth Dump Post! We see so many Moths on both Morning and Night Walks, that it's justifiable to celebrate them all in one go!

One of the colourful lady Jumping Spiders found in Sumatra, and they are also found in Cairns! Until a Taxonomist decides to split the species by geographical location, and then I'll need to edit this with a new name. But for now, this is the current scientific classification. Happy Salticidae Sunday! ◉ ◉◉ ◉

Seriously Frog, could you pose any better?! I mean...Common! Happy Frog Friday 🐸💚🐸

🆔 White-lipped Tree Frog (Nyctimystes infrafrenatus)

Every once in a while you come across a scene that warrants some attention! This is one of our gorgeous Fireback Huntsman getting stuck into a Raspy Cricket. A worthy prize for any spider but somehow the orange and the orange together made this a really cool scene to photograph!
