More surprises!

Frilled Lizard! This fellow ran across the road in front of me when I was heading to Cairns. I didn't have the camera so this was taken with the cel phone. It was larger than I've imagined.




This moth was a fairly large and stayed on the outside of the window while I took some close-up shots.




Bull Ants! One of these gave Maverick a nasty bite.




This little Green Tree Frog came and paid us a visit.

Here's more!

Could this beetle be related to Darth Maul?




Can you spot a beach crab in this photo?




Maverick caught another gecko.




What kind of caterpillar is this?



By the time I took this photo with the phone camera, this guanna was already half way in the grass. Gotta be quicker next time!

Rhino Beetles!

It's rhino beetle season!




Another one we caught. Look at the size of it compared to the car key!




You can tell this is a male from the large horn.



Time to let it go!





Maverick found a butterfly that stray into our house.




What is this?
