How's This ....


....... for a colourful beetle. I have no idea what it's called, but it was quite comfortable on the cucumber plant.

Wow, I've never seen anything like this dude. It's as if someone experimented with genetic testing and came up with a grasshopper/ladybug hybrid.

Amazing isn't it! I'm trying to find out what it is and a name for it.

Still hatching emergers, will it never end? LOL I cannot BELIEVE how much I have spent on swan plants, well over $150 for a damn WEED fer chrissakes and another $130 for a minigreenhouse to protect the bloody weeds from frost! At least it will be cheaper next year ( I hope)

Haha, love it! Maybe you could go into business and make some money from it :)

Look up Spined Sheild Bug, Gecko.

Looks like that (found it on Monarch.org.nz)

Thanks Medusa, I'll go take a look.
