Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

earlier we posted pictures of a fruit fly - here are their little babies! chomping their way through 3 of my cucumbers - my silvers loved the maggots and the redclaw took care of the rest

Anyone know these critters? They're about 2.4mm long and like bean leaves for a start.

I think these are the same? On cucumber this time.

Woodlouse (slater) and redback, both were in my growbed. I let the slater survive.

Another mystery critter - kinda like the cup-moth caterpillers that scared me when I was young, but without the stingy tufts.

Pictured on a little broccoli leaf. No evidence of chomping. And I've since lost the leaf, I was going to keep to see what it turned into.

Looks like it is making a cocoon - good fish tucker mate

Had to post this pic... there are 2 of these spiders in my AP area and they are very good at taking care of the insects

very nice, a Northern Jewelled Spider

its by far the prettiest spider in my system.. thanks for the name (you have a reference book of some sort?)

Man, you guys just get such good stuff in your gardens....

Down here I just seem to get the old plain boring (usually introduced) run of the mill insects.

Now that is something I have never heard before

Qld Museum's "Wildlife of Tropical North Queensland"

its got worms, snails, spiders, insects, crustaceans, frogs, fish (some), turtles, lizards, snakes, birds (a few), mammals
A Cook's Tour of NQ wildlife
