Say hello to 'Harry'! 'Harry the Huntsman' is one of our regular spiders we like to say hello to on our Night Walks. He has a favorite tree and on this particular night he was having a little grooming session. That thing you can see in between his handsome moustache is his back leg and he is making sure it's all pristine and ready to sense any potential food that might cross his silk trip lines he has laid all over the tree trunk.

🆔 Grey Huntsman Spider (Holconia immanis)

One of the coolest lizards I think I've ever seen! Serious Dragon vibes going on here! Very cool, but uncommon sighting in India, with us only seeing two of these during the Reconnaissance Safari.

🆔 Large Scaled Forest Lizard (Calotes grandisquamis)

What looks like a Green Tree Ant is actually a Spider pretending to be a Green Ant. yet another example of Mimicry seen in the Cairns Botanic Gardens. We have a number of creatures that mimic Green Weaver Ants (Oecophylla smaragdina) including Jumping Spiders, Crab Spiders, True Bugs and now this genus of Comb Spiders (Theridiidae) has been added to the list. This is the first time seeing this spider and this is inspiring to know that there are always new things to discover, even though I've done close to 400 walks in the same area!

🆔 Four-spotted Ant Mimic (Propostira quadrangulata)

23/11/2024

Arguably the cutest Jumping Spider Genus. We were lucky enough to spot one on the recent Sydney Tours. Happy Salticidae Sunday! ◉ ◉◉ ◉

🆔 Simaethula Jumping Spider (Simaethula sp.)

22/11/2024

A lovely crab spider looking rather healthy during Let's Go Buggin Sydney.

🆔 Crab Spider (Tharrhalea)

22/11/2024

One of the wishlist species in India, just look at those eyes! These small frogs breed in bamboo stalks where they deposit their eggs. Happy Frog Friday 🐸💚🐸 India Safari Tour Itinerary coming soon. PM me to register your interest.

🆔 Ochlandra Shrub Frog (Raorchestes ochlandrae)

20/11/2024

I've seen this species in Australia and Sumatra, and now in India! They make the most excellent Halloween subjects with their red beady eyes!

🆔 Abandoned-web Orb-Weaver (Parawixia dehaani)

19/11/2024

Baby Bugs! Spotted these newborns on recent night walk. Aren't they the cutest! These will eventually turn green and orange and a lot rounder, and have very defined shield-like wing covers.

🆔 Shield Bug first instar (Agapophyta bipunctata)

18/11/2024

During our Safaris in India we came to a shola forest that had an abundant of these huge Orb-weaver Spiders. They were about the size of your hand, and their webs were sometimes over a metre. Seeing their many webs glisten in the morning sunlight with due on them was such an amazing sight. Who's coming next year? India Safari Itinerary coming soon.

🆔 Giant Wood Spiders (Genus Nephila)

17/11/2024

Some seriously cute Leaf Hoppers in India, including this one. India Safari Tour Itinerary coming soon. PM me to register your interest.

🆔 Leaf Hopper (Cicadellidae)

16/11/2024

Super cute little Saltid Jumping Spider in the gardens of our accommodation during the recent India Safari. I've seen its cousin in Sumatra, but this is a new species for me. Happy Salticidae Sunday! ◉ ◉◉ ◉

🆔 Phintella platnicki (Salticinae)

15/11/2024

Several clusters of these tiny grubs were visible on a tree during the Sydney Let's Go Buggin Tours. Each individual only about 4mm long and systematically eating their way through the leaves. Also on the tree were what appeared to be many comatosed wasps or sawflies stuck to the branches and in various states of decay.
Very curious! Only later when I uploaded the photos to iNaturalist that people have suggested the same species. So it seems that the adult Sawflies lay the eggs and then die, and the larvae keep the species population going.

🆔 Pteryperga galla a member of Pergid Sawflies (Family Pergidae)

14/11/2024

One of the cool frogs of the Western Ghats. This is one of a few Gliding Frogs that I had the pleasure of meeting on the recent Reconnaissance Safari. Happy Frog Friday 🐸💚🐸

🆔 Malabar Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus malabaricus)

13/11/2024

A gorgeous Ladybird spotted on the recent Let's Go Buggin Tours in Sydney. Love how the A.K. Diffuser softens the super shiny shells of beetles. Do you need a Macro Diffuser? Hit me up in the comments for info.

🆔 Tortoise-shelled Ladybird (Harmonia testudinaria)

12/11/2024

So cool to see these super fancy triangle spider in Sydney during the recent Let's Go Buggin Tours. They seem to have a pretty good population there as we saw a number of individuals in a small area over a number of days. It's also the second time and a different time of year observing this species.

🆔 Common Triangular Spider (Arkys lancearius)

11/11/2024

A very pretty snake we were fortunate to meet on our India Safari.

🆔 Nilgiri Keelback (Sahyadriophis beddomei)

10/11/2024

These colourful grasshoppers were a pretty regular sight in India. How pretty are they?! This one even sat on a pink flower for me 💕

🆔 Neorthacris a member of Gaudy Grasshoppers (Family Pyrgomorphidae)

09/11/2024

My first shots taken in Sydney during 5 days with 5 tours. This gorgeous male splendid (oh yes he is!) Peacock Spider. What a treat! He struts his stuff like there's no tomorrow. Infact there is a chance he could be eaten by the female. It's a tough job being a male spider!

🆔 Splended Peacock Spider (Maratus splendens)
