Looks good to me thanks martin. My bug is nicer than theirs :) I hope I'm getting better with the camera. Even simple ones require learning and practice.
This is a very clear image for your camera - well done. Although there is one main difference with the Brisbane site, the following link has the alternating pattern along the rim of the abdomen, and even a quite different color. http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_... Considering this seems to be a variable species, I think we have a match.
This is also a candidate for my egg shot, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/876... .
