Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning


May 17, 2007: Exploring nightlife around Queenstown

I thought it would be fun to eat late, then take a flashlight and look for our lady-in-black. If I found her, then try to take a photo or two or three. I was in for a surprise

The first attempt after finding her was the camera focused on something - and when I got home, that something was a grasshopper sitting on a leaf

But here she is, our lady-in-black. See the grasshopper on the leaf to the right?

Grasshopper to the left - then Nephila and a little tiny orange dot near the top - our favorite kleptoparasite: Argyrodes flavescens

The best I could do with an edge view, hoping to see the web. Now the grasshopper it near the center bottom.
