My eldest wanted to go on a bushwalk today, so I happily took him on a bushwalk. Sadly, I have passed away as I am very old and unfit, but I'm hoping to make a full recovery by tomorrow.

Also he wanted to call it a "hike" but I refused.

Last of my You Yangs shots, here's a mantisfly! Those arms share the same purpose as a praying mantis', but these insects are more closely related to lacewing!

Another You Yangs photo! This lady is a bull ant—Myrmecia pilosula, also known as the black jumper ant! I was very careful around her nest, because I don't want to be stung by bull ants again.

Another observation from the You Yangs! This one is Eleale pulchra, a species of checkered beetle.

Going through my holiday photos and stumbled upon this Pempsamacra tillides longhorn beetle found in the You Yangs, a granite mountain range in Victoria, Australia.
