Walking past an old treated pine post and spotted several Cuckoo Wasps investigating cavities, interesting because they have been seen at the same post in previous years. What spectacular insects they are, Primeuchroeus species.

Another chance discovery on the trunk of an Angophora costata, a newly moulted adult Flat-headed Leaf Hopper, Stenocotis species.

Some shots of its moulted larval skin found nearby.

 

Starting to see some Odonata in the garden, the first dragonfly photographed, an Australian Emerald, Hemicordulia australiae.

A Wandering Ringtail, Austrolestes leda.

A Slender Ringtail, Austrolestes analis, quite uncommon in the area.

A Black-faced Percher, Diplacodes melanopsis.

A lucky find was this potter wasp with a caterpillar destined to feed its developing youngster.
