at the moment i am simply trying to see what is in this largely local native Australian garden.
I did go to the area this morning and i am now sorting the results. It was not there this morning.
That is a good idea and when i know what i am doing with this camera I may seek advice to do that.

I had that experience too when my parents died and left me 2 acres of bush. I felt I got really close to the land and bush when I started rearing and caring for the caterpillars in found there, because their survival rate in the wild is so low (<1%), and so little is known about them (<7% Aussie moth species have known caterpillars).
