dynamos! They moved so quick from side to side and bottom to top I had to keep moving to catch up. right on the edge of the creek. There was a wattle saping and a gum tree sapling so close together they were intertwined.

Hi Kylie, Photos 2 and 3 are Cloelia but the others I believe are Paropsisterna decolorata. Could you please separate them.
Thanks
Thanks
