But since you folks are posting beetles and other "non-bug" insects, I'm assuming the odd spider is appropriate here.

The mantis one is very artistic. I've never seen a ladybug with such colors. Being Australian, I'm sure all these critters are extremely dangerous.

Macroramphosis Senior Member More info | May 03, 2019 00:16 | #1810 A bit of artistic licence with a soldier fly, most likely Stratiomys longicornis. A first for me in the garden, and there are quite a few of them!! I thought it was a hoverfly at first, and then a bee. Stunningly coloured in the right light.

Nice shots. Well, there are flies and then there are flies. This is a soldier fly, which is on the same side of the family as a bee. The other side of the family are the flies that bother you at lunch by sitting on the cheese after smearing themselves in cow-dung and sleeping overnight in dead bodies

The other side of the family are the flies that bother you at lunch by sitting on the cheese after smearing themselves in cow-dung and sleeping overnight in dead bodies  Soldier flies are pretty harmless and do a good job in the garden. One of them, the Black soldier fly, is very good at waste management and they're bred in their millions to do good work in breaking down organic matter on an industrial scale. http://media.ifrc.org …ste-management-technique/ Very interesting. Useful bugs as your link attests. I also read about them elsewhere on the web. They look fuzzy like bees, but I see they are Diptera, so true flies (with two wings).
