Click on a link, see an example of the insect. Helps if you know what to look for in the first place, but have a flick through now and again and it will probably start to make sense when you're next in the garden.

Could be wrong, but something like that (might even be a leaf footed bug).

P.S. I like the names Oz animals have. Spangled Drongo, Kurrawong, Clown Bugs, Wilted-tip-mimicking Bug, Fruit-spotting Bug.

8-12 inches is about as close as I'd want to get to one of them; in fact, I don't think anyone makes a macro lens long enough that will get me taking 1:1's of wasps!

2. Better, suits this lighting well.
3. Much better, really like this, the shallow depth of field stops it getting too cluttered, and the curving beam draws the eye through the pic. Nice!
