Gday all. Found this guy in the garden today, so i thought i'd bring him in out of the wind for a little one on one:lol:. I'm not sure what the round ball is that he's guarding, egg ball maybe? Any ideas? Also do you think the exposure is about right? Hope you like 'em and CC always welcome.

Lovely capture- don't think the ball is related to the bug though unless it likes playing with it.

Nice shots, it looks a lot like our Leptoglossus occidentalis I see around my neck of the woods here in the US.
