Yet another windy week, makes for lots of photo deleting as it is without accidentally and unknowingly changing the mode setting on your camera to 20 frames per shot (I’d reckon it was while being dragged through the bush by a dingo)… 😅 And not realising until after you’ve taken half a dozen “hold the camera in the air” guess shots of a rather gorgeous moth that’s too high up… Half a dozen? Yeah, times 20, 120 photos, some of which had various parts of a moth in them, one was even almost in focus… 😂 And then it took me a few more shots (where I could see the screen) to figure out what I’d done and how to change it back… 😆 218 pics, these are five of the eight I kept… 😄
Pic 1 – the unmistakable eyes of the male Megachile aurifrons.
Pic 2 – I’m going with M. chrysopyga (female).
Pic 3 – I reckon might be M. oblonga.
Pic 4 – perhaps M. (Eutricharaea) macularis (male).
Pic 5 – and last but not least, M. nocluehavi, (a subgenus of “Noidea“) 😄
