Hardly any updates because SILs home is in a 5g deadspot, and their Optus WiFi isn't routing properly and won't let me access Lemmy ๐ I have to go for a walk a few streets away to see your beautiful posts lol
Having a great time though! I've seen so many insects and birds.
I think this is a Giant Grasshopper
I haven't been able to ID this one
Partner says it's a Spitfire but spitfires don't look like that, and Google lens says it's a US moth except they're not in Aus
Hope you get a chance to go to the Perth Zoo because it's amazing.
I've been before it's fantastic? They have rhinos!!
not a spitfire, spitfires are all black
Exactly!
That looks like a wooly bear caterpillar! I took a photo of a similar being a couple of years ago, will edit it in if I can find it
