Some more garden wildlife around at present
1 Chrysolopus spectabilis or Botany Bay Diamond weevil
This species was the first scientifically described Australian insect. A specimen was collected by Joseph Banks in 1770 and taken back to England. This one was found in the vegetable garden feeding on a rhubarb leaf.
2.Leptotes plinius or Zebra blue or Plumago Blue butterfly
There were quite a few of this small butterfly hanging around 2 Plumago bushes down the front of the property today.
3. Carpet snake or Reticulated python- about 1.8m long. This was causing the ducks some consternation last night but they are probably too large for it anyway.
