A Kill!

When we have had a rain storm our exterior lights become a magnet for a veritable parade of weird and bizarre insects. If I am lucky some of them will still be there in the early morning so that I can photograph them. I noticed this adult form of the Antlion and the light was just right to get a shot.


I then went out to check the bird feeders and when I got back to the front door I noticed there had been a kill!


Not exactly a pride of lions pulling down a Cape Buffalo but pretty remarkable none the less. I think the lesson learnt is don't hang around the light too long - you might become someones breakfast!
