Snaps from a wander around the garden as autumn gets well under way, two species of Boatman Fly, family Platystomatidae.

Pognortalis doclea.

Genus Rivellia, while photographing an empty spider egg case this very attractive boatman fly landed on the twig and posed nicely.

Two spiders, Clynotis severus,

And to be positively identified, the Brown House Spider, Badumna longinqua.

A Honeybrown Beetle, Ecnolagria grandis.

A Robberfly still on the wing, Genus Cerdistus.

And likewise, a Tachinid fly.

A few months ago a Union Jack Wolf Spider excavated a home burrow in the strawberry bed, and since then has grown steadily in size. The diameter of the burrow is now 30 mm, and the impressive spider spends quite a bit of time enjoying the sun at the entrance.

Braconid wasps are still seeking caterpillars for larvae food on the tree trunks.

Genus Bracon.

Callibracon capitator.

Leaves on the Eucalyptus parramattensis have been neatly scalloped.

It didn’t take long to find the culprits, several hanging out together.

A Yellow-winged Locust, Gastrimargus musicus sat calmly for the snapshot.

In to the moth light as if to celebrate the rain, a Giant Water Beetle, Hydrophilus latipalpus.

And a Mayfly species, Order Ephemeroptera.
