FBM, That bug is a double doozy. Thanks for finding out what it is.

vonny, Great close-up of the black-tip.

This PC gets my vote for most beautiful mammal. One kid's opinion.

Sorry if nobody else thinks these sorts of beings are beautiful, but I have learned to.

@FBM,
I think they're beautiful. That makes two of us.

I'm still overwhelmed by the double doozy.

Found two more Tetragnatha today. They were easier to get to than that first one:

@Roberta,
Danke, you and osso. Incidentally, I was wrong about that being a planthopper. It's a moth.

You know, if you turn that cute red squirrel pick on its side, it looks like it's doing some sort of interpretive dance. Laughing

Sorry, I don't know what kind of fish this is, but it's a beauty.

@Roberta,
I never knew there was such a thing as a pigmy hippo. Uber-cute! Very Happy

I took a jaunt down to the local river today and ran into a damselfly in the Platycnemididae family:

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/DinahFyre/DSC_4596_01.jpghttp://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/DinahFyre/DSC_4619.jpghttp://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb192/DinahFyre/DSC_4596_02.jpg

That was my first experience of them. The legs are pretty striking. A close-up (not Platycnemididae) just for fun:

And a leafhopper? Planthopper? I've forgotten how to differentiate them:

And a lacewing:

On Phuket, Thailand, monkeys swim and dive in the water whilst they wait for bananas and nuts thrown by tourists.
