Possums are so hard to photograph. I think this one is a ringtail. I see brushtail ones more often

The same spider, against the sky.

Phonognatha graeffei or leaf-curling spider.

I think this is a Channel-billed Cuckoo. The smaller birds were really upset by it and kept trying to dive-domb it.


A Leech with ants. Yuck.

An orb weaver that had an 8ft high web in the front garden. I think it's Eriophora transmarina.

A Cicada shell

I was trying to look at a tiny skink and nearly didn't even notice this. I think it's a praying mantis.

Skink from the top. I see this on the back steps whenever it's sunny.

Kookaburra in the back yard

I think this is a wolf spider. It's eating a cockroach.
