Part Two will be the animals, reptile, amphibians and insects I came across in October

I put out a bowl with water for animals that come around the house for drinks when the weather is warm. I found a frog in the bowl which needed to be rescued. I think it is a Common Eastern Froglet.

One morning we looked on the verandah and there was a Carpet Snake skin hanging from the rafter. It was over 2 meters long.

Isn’t the skin beautiful?

Brush-tailed Possums are coming into the shed. I surprised this one who has a mosquito on its nose.

I set the live trap as the Brush-tailed Possums are getting into the roof cavity. I heard a crash on the verandah and saw a mother Possum with a baby on her back so I set the trap off. I can’t believe I actually gave the piece of apple to the baby.

A Red-necked Wallaby enjoying the morning sun in front of the house.

When you are small and still in the pouch, you have to do some investigating when ever you can.

It was hard to find the grasshopper amongst the leaves.

The Bull Ants know when you are about. Time for a quick photo as they Bull Ants poured out from the nest, running away before they ran up my legs.

These lovely ant enjoyed walking about the plants looking for whatever ants look for.

The Wolf Spider and the Millipede inside escaping the rain.

Further up the wall a Huntsman observed the carry on below.

Looking among a timber stack, I disturbed a Huntsman Spider having a rest.

Look at the mouth of this butterfly.

The inside wings of a Ringed Xenica. The first time I have seen a Ringed Xenica on my place.

The outer wings of the Ringed Xenica are far more showy

The Native Stingless Bees get right inside of the Dietes to get the nectar or pollen.

This fly may look quite pretty but boy can they bite.

Just resting on a leaf before buzzing off to buzz around the house or just annoy people.

A dragonfly enjoying the sunshine.

Some dragonflies being “friendly”
