That Chew Family insects and Spiders of Brisbane site is very useful for all sorts of Insects and Spiders - go from that link, to their home page, then browse around. Lots of great photos. Useful to store for future reference.

Thanks for that link Denis, what a great site, I often turn to photgraphing the insects (normally dragonflys) when the birds are few and far between.
