I'm still on holiday and just happen to catch a few bugs and reptiles that weren't hiding from the heat; not as well as others anyways...
An Eastern Blue-Tongued Skink. With a body lenght of up to 50cm one of the largest skinks there is. |
Another Skink, although this one belongs to a different family. |
Waterfall at Plain Creek, Victoria. |
A Highland or Ramsay's Copperhead, from the Austrelaps family. This one was caught in our bird netting. |
Like all other Elapides Copperheads are highly venomous and a bite can easily kill a healthy adult. Although very shy, safety precautions are mandatory when handling these animals. |
A Praying mantis, Mantodea order |
A honeybee on clover |
A Damselfly, unsure of the family |
A member of the Hymenoptera family; a relative of the wasps and ants. |
Cobwebs covering Flax Lily berries |
A Crimson Rosella |
Definitely one of Australias most pretty parrots |
An alpine cricket of the Tinzeda family |
A juvenile bird, probably of the Falcon family. |
An alpine Grasshopper. |
