Insects around Woorabinda
Flies, mosquitos, bees, wasps, you name it, we had it there. Too many to show photos, in fact. But there must be space for at least a few outstanding examples - first a cicada.
Cicadas
Millions of these little buggers produce an enormous racket along Bohena Creek every year during the summer months.

Butterflies
Sometimes beautiful butterflies come to the flowers of our plants, such as the ones shown in pictures below.

Ants galore...
There are ants everywhere around our place. Big ones, small ones, brown, black, green headed. They keep the bush clean by eating all the carrion that is left by bigger predators.
