Graceful hoverfly visiting Schwantesia ruedebuschii.

Thelocactus ehrenbergii (T. leukanthus)

Stapelia hirusta (I think) with blowfly larvae. As a budding Dipterist this sort of thing makes my day!

A repeat visitor to my garden. [This is not my cat though he may have adopted us]

And scented one:

Leafcutter bee carrying leaf to its nest in a tube under propergator.

Because of the delay between pressing shutter release and the shutter opening I had to point the camera in the right area and press the button as I heard the bee flying over my shoulder. After several attempts I was lucky enough to get this shot.

Over the last few months several of my Lithops have mysteriously disappeared. Last week whilst re-potting some plants in the garden I found a load buried in the pots. So I set up a camera on a trip wire, and caught this little fella posing for the camera. The odd Lithops here and there I can live with, but now he's getting really cheeky - those pots are expensive!

Not sure if you can add more than one photo to the competition so please delete these if you cant as I already have one entered.
