This Dragonfly stopped briefly, giving me the opportunity to take a quick photo.
Although harsh sunlight took its toll, somehow the blue eyes seem to make up for it.

This Caterpillar is known as a "Mopane Worm"
Gonimbrasia belina is a species of moth found in much of southern Africa, whose large edible caterpillar, the mopani or mopane worm, is an important source of protein for millions of Southern Africans.
I am truly thankful that I have never been that hungry :)

Another death-trap in the Daisies.
This little Crab Spider blended in very well with the background while
a Hover Fly was hovering (!) around an adjacent Daisy.
Unfortunately it started to rain and I could not wait around for it to land
on the Daisy where the Spider was waiting patiently for supper.
Remains of a previous meal can be seen on the extreme right.
