Yes my next investment is a decent camera, especially for the smaller creatures and birds! Does look like you are right though!

This might be Red-lined Emerald (Heterorachis devocata), but the photo is not clear enough to say with certainty.

This was found in a riverine forest environment, wingspan of about 30mm. I have been looking but still cannot id it. Found a cool site though, http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?guide...

Wine rack has now become a wine "display stand" and coming along nicely!! :-)

Those green ones are very nice, and with some eggs as well!! :) However, I think that they are pretty hard to ID. To increase the chances it is always a great thing to add a bit more in Description such as size/wingspan, and under Habitat you just mention a bit about the place you found it...

How is the wine-rack turning out btw? :)
