There are hundreds of these little Butterflies flitting around our garden at the moment.

There seems to be a 'need to breed' frenzy going on and therefore they are on the move all the time.

This guy must have been quite exhausted to have perched among the thorns!

I visited my brother last week end and they are currently experiencing an abundance of Dragon Flies.

They too were not still for a minute - constantly skimming through the air in search of food (or a mate?)

If yesterdays Crab Spider could take lessons in camouflage from this guy it would be as fat in no time.

At first I thought I was looking at a fly doing a hand stand, but then I noticed a yellow leg move.

This photo was taken with my Nokia N8 because I did not have a camera with me.

The N8's camera has a 12MP Carl Zeiss lens. 

It takes great photos but I have never really used it much.

A little Crab Spider that has not had a lesson in blending in with the background!

In comparison, the Yellow Lantana looks like a hUge flower, when in fact they are quite tiny..

Yellow Lantana is thought to be non-invasive, because it is sterile. 

People have said that in time it will swap genes with nearby invasive Lantana.

Fortunately there are no other Lantana plants around.

The plant has decorated my fence for 6 years, attracted many insects

and so played a major roll in my daily photo journal!
