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 😁

Mute Swan. 2017-1
Mute Swan. Note the interesting parallel, horizontal lines on the swan. I suspect they might be created by reflections from the ripples on the water surface. Please enlarge.
