Love the Tanzanian Beach-comber's R...Hi Martin.<br />Love the Tanzanian Beach-comber's Rule.<br />They get to live longer, those Tanzanian Beach-combers, t5han the city slickers who lift up the front edge of the rock and peer under it.<br />.<br />Did you send your Cockroach image to Dave Rentz? <br />It might be an just having undergone "ecdysis" (moulting). Interesting, as probably seldom photographed in the wild.<br />Wikipedia has one shot:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecdysis<br />But that is a Laboratory shot, judging by the tweezers. <br />.<br />Dave might well be interested in the image.<br />.<br />Did you consider Assassin Bugs for your Bug?<br />http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_assinsinbugs/index.html<br />They have any number which might be a "fit" with yours. You probably need upper views as well. But the large eyes and the proboscis look right for me, as well as the long antennae. Hopefully you managed several images.<br />Bugs are "Buggers" to identify (couldn't resist).<br />.<br />Shame you didn't get the baby Snake. Off to Snake-Kindy is it?<br />Cheers.<br />Denis<br />PS - it is peak Red-brow season here too, They love the weedy grasses.Denis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.com
