Are you aware that 75% of all animals are insects or that 20% in fact are beetles? Interesting eh!

Well thats right Badfish. I thought it might be a good idea to show people what they might find in their systems and explain the good or bad that these beautiful creatures do like the larvae working their magic. But what magnificent detail on the shield bug with the pink trim.

Nice pictures. And, good to show the ladybug larvae. A couple of years ago Tom's sister and brother-in-law were preparing to spray a fruit tree when we discussed what they had... turns out they were ladybug larvae, definitely not something to spray. ;-)

Amazing that you managed to get 2 different spiders with huge spines on their legs. And all these in one day... :)
