Bug life!
Our native praying mantis - Orthodera novaezealandiae:) The South African import is far more common these days, but if you're interested, you can identify our native by the vivid blue spot on inside of forelegs(first pic), or by the chonky neck (second pic). SA mantis has a narrow neck. Also, if it's some funky colour, it's South African! Our guy is always that same green 😁
80 years ago:
About 80 years ago I was taking photographs with a Kodak Box Camera including the 2 uploaded photos of the house where we were living in Epson, Auckland. The ground floor walls were built with stones and the washhouse had no windows so it was perfect for developing film and printing photos. And 80 years later I still enjoy taking photos, even without the Box Camera😁. The house was destroyed to be replaced by apartments. It feels like a part of me has been stolen and destroyed.😦😦
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
