Little Critters
My (tiny) veggie patch has a lavender plant in it. Now that the rains are here, the flowers seem to be a magnet for the bees.
Bees #1
Bees #2
Bees #3
This tiny (+-7cm, including tail) Cape Day Gecko was looking for lunch.
Wild Asparagus flower - after the rain
Mantis...not exactly a macro-type shot, but I thought the background was interesting - he was knocked off a tree by a feeding elephant and was trying to find his way back, over this very wierd elephant hide landscape!

Great set.
I especially like the bees and the mantis shot which looks even more like a strange landscape if it's turned 90 degrees anti clockwise.
