That second hoverfly's a cracker reminds me of hummingbird photos and, being picky, I reckon your flies playing leapfrog are wasps, going by the mouth parts.
These are my beasties for today.
Red and black (or black and red) plant hopper (been trying to track one of these down since you started this thread)
My shots this weekend required working the bolt bewteen shots (or not in the case of the Benelli ) so I'm way behind - I'll catch up next week with luck
Sorry folks I seem to be suffering from OCD (obsessive close-up disease) at the moment, I can't resist the urge to post these pictures. Not an arthropod this time,
Close, kitchen table, I brought him home, took the shot then let him go where I found him. Cheating a bit but I didn't have the camera with me when I found him.
Thanks JonnyP they're lovely little critters, eat pests and are completely harmless. it really annoys me when people think "arghhh it's a snake, kill it". Mind you I like snakes too, the native British ones anyway, I might be a bit less keen to approach them if I lived in Australia.
My shots this weekend required working the bolt between shots (or not in the case of the Benelli ) so I'm way behind - I'll catch up next week with luck
This wasp has been in and out of our flat over the last few days on a mission to build small nests, either on the sleeve of my motorcycle jacket or the folds of the curtains.
I'm having little luck in catching a good shot of her, she is way too fast...
However here is a nice one of a completed nest...
Not sure what type of wasp she is. She is quite large though at about three centimeters nose to tail.
