Bugs and a few spiders from the trip. I've gotten a huge collection of bug pics in the last year or so. If anyone can give me the proper names of some of these, that would be great.

[edit] Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] drhoz for filling in some of the huge gaps in my knowledge.

This guy was at Stoke's Inlet. Fast moving and fast digging as well. [edit] And it's called a Digger Wasp.

These little guys were very friendly and loved landing on us and just sitting there.


bug-1.jpg
Outside the toilets at Cocklebiddy. So cute with the big yellow blobs on its antenna. [edit] It's an owlfly.


EuBeetle-7.jpg
This is the beetle Karno saved from the pool. It was with this photo that it started moving. [edit] And its friends call it prionine cerambycid. But I call it Ted.

A little under 2cm from tips of front to back legs.

Finding that the first four or five hours of the day are the worst, but that I gradually improve through the day. It's bearable. First thing like this in about two years, so I can't complain. Sharon knew it was bad when I went to the doctor's in trakkie daks :)

Tiki even offered to pick me up and take me to the MSFC, but I wasn't up for it. Shame, wanted to see Paul's trivia and catching up with you would have been lovely.
