AJ excellent froggie pics!

We're in the same world as far as construction goes. If you might use it, keep it. If someone puts it out for collection and you can build/do something with it, grab it. It takes me about 3/4hr+ to get to anywhere that sells anything so hoarding comes (partly) from necessity. If I need to make something I'd usually have something that will do the trick ...... somewhere.

Fixing up my glasshouse is on the agenda for this year.

here's a few more trippy things

Go AJ .....

Is the first one one of the critters that traps ants? Or perhaps a rhino bettle?

Second one, no idea, but cool as and a great pic.

Third one, cicada lavae / grub ?

Yep don't thro nothin out 'cause ya never know and yeah it takes up a little room but can save a fair bit :good: and I hate it if you do have a clean up and sure as sh*t in a cat you'll want something you've tossed out

Mate a glasshouse..big job so I hope it's not to run down..see ya local secondhand joint, I got a half a ute full of timer for free and a few other odds and ends that cost me $20 but if I got it from bunnings it would of been hundreds as a lot was hardwood

Now to you questions, yep it's one of those ant things..all those little pieces all over it are bits of dead ants. I'm not sure if it's an antlion getting ready to make a cocoon or a different insect :scratch_one-s_head:
the next is a green lacewing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysopidae and here's another link about antlions and lacewings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antlion and ya hit the nail with the last one

[Unicorn]

Found these two last spring ......

[ausjack]

sweet they're pretty cool :good: I've only ever seen one black one out in the bush and didn't have a bloody camera and seen a couple around here so I'll capture them next time I see'em but ours aren't as nice as them

so what can ya do with one of these pie tins?? thro them out I'll go take a close up of the posts on the greenhouse as bloody bunnings wanted near $4 for a plastic cap so my little pea started to tick :laugh2:
sorry it's not such a good pic but you can see the little tin there dob of liquid nails and a few clouts and bobs ya uncle

[robbiegal]

great pics guys
i'll post my praying mantis pics

pie tins AJ
I used mine in the veggie garden to deter the maggies
so of course I have a photo of the maggies standing beside the hanging pie tins sparkling away

[ausjack]

cool pic RG, I so love their eyes :good: I wonder if it could talk if it'd say...peek a boo, I see you so the tins work as well as bottles of water on the lawn :dodgy:

[robbiegal]

oh
do the bottles work?

yeah - the tins or CD's are everywhere in this town on the fruit trees in summer
they look pretty groovy really
