These big moths make great subjects if you can find them. Only the 2nd time I've seen one.

These round ant eaters are quite common too. They are often hard to get near though, didn't notice the small flies until I saw these images on the PC. 4 for the price of 1?

I did see a jumping spider I haven't seen before but was unable to get a photo of it. I also found this beetle, looks like a darkling beetle but much bigger and a different colour to the ones I normally see.

Man these are great, Getting the flies in focus and the spider would have made an epic 2part focus stack but fantastic shots none the less
