All I could find this afternoon were Stink Bugs. 

This was the only one that did not run away from the camera - because it couldn't ;)

Often when I roam around looking for a subject for my photo of the day I get 

quite despondent when there is not much to be found. 

I then tend to take a photo of the first object that catches my eye.

This is one of those  *this will have to do* shots!

A warm welcome to Wendy Saville who is a new viewer from Australia.

Our mutual friend Rodney Field tells me that you are enjoying all the 'wild and wonderful thingz' that I stumble upon!

I truly appreciate your compliments and support of my efforts.

Scary stuff!

*Darwin's bark spider (Caerostris darwini) is an orb-weaver spider that produces one of the largest known orb webs, web size ranged from 900–28,000 cm2, with anchor lines spanning up to 25 metres (82 ft). 

The species was named in honour of the naturalist Charles Darwin, with the description being prepared precisely 150 years after the publication of The Origin of Species, on 24 November 2009.
