posthuman i actually have not seen a spider close up (out of fear) but it's strangely pretty
 
No offense, but this will give me nightmares for the next coming days o.o;

Even butterflies upclose freak me out :( do forgive me if you see me swatting at them butterflies!!!

sorry :) my wife left the room the first time she saw that bank of photos but afterwards she came back and loved them - i know it's a little creepy..

this is another one my wife took recently, a tulip; we have irises blooming now soon i'll post some of them too. lots more bugs are also out but maybe i'll spare you those :D

These are all pictures a friend of mine took in his garden, he has great skill with the camera and a really pretty garden too. The bird is one of New Zealand's native birds, called a Pukeko. Enjoy

Great pictues, and Wow! what's that 'Thing' with long legs in the second photo?

you've never met a 'praying mantis' before farouk?

they are fun; they will hang around on your shirt if you catch one and put it there - sometimes wearing floral prints i've had them just fly up and land on me! sometimes the grow as big as 6-8" long; a pretty hefty size bug. they are territorial and if you find one adult it is very rare to see another anywhere nearby. as babies though, hundreds of them hatch together and are carried off by wind & tiny wings to different places. if you find one only about an inch long, there are probably scores more not too far away.

beautiful pictures Sabbie! the bees there look so different from the ones we have here.
 
a praying mantis egg sac must have hatched today or yesterday on my back porch!

here are some babies :)

they are tiny! half the size of a common jumping spider, for now,
but those that survive will grow to be several inches long, one of the largest of insects on the continent.
 
those are gorgeous Sanglina!
is the yellow bunch Jasmine?

and do you know if the 1st and 4th are the same tree? i especially like the fourth one, with the little red buds opening into those soft, pale pink flowers :)
