How on earth did you get that close to see him, let alone see the speckled eyes. The apple looks fluffy ?

It is a baby apple, Sue. When the camera zoomed in on him, I saw the bars on his back and the brown eye. I’m lucky he stayed there long enough for me to get in front of him. 🙂

There goes my picture of you crawling around on all fours through the bushes.

I wondered about the same things Sue did in her above comment, Christine. Also, when and how did you develop your vast knowledge of the insect and botanical worlds?

Google is my friend, Janet. 🙂 My eyes have been well and truly opened since I started blogging and finding all these creatures under my nose. One of our museum sites is reall good with identification but I often check google images using some keywords. I’m not satisfied with generic ‘bees’ now, and have borrowed some books from the library to help identify my locals. Oh, and the fluffy apple is a baby one on the tree. Thanks for stopping by.
