2018 Insect Photos

In 2018 I'm going to blog my insect photos. I'm not going far and wide to chase down as many species as possible. I'm simply recording what I do find in the places that I go this year. I'm only adding photos that have been identified to a species level. Insect ID can be extremely difficult, and I have no professional training. All identifications are my best attempt, but may be incorrect. Please let me know if you think I have made a mistake so that I can correct it.

#161 to #164 at Heritage Wetlands, Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia, November 17 2018

A few years ago I went to Heritage Wetlands to try and find and photograph an Azure Kingfisher. I dipped on the kingfisher, but found a large and diverse collection of insects to photograph instead. I've been meaning to head back there for ages, and this morning I finally did. While I didn't find it crawling with insects like I had hoped to, I still managed to find some interesting photographic subjects.
