#199 to #203 at Balbirooro, Victoria, Australia, December 26 2018

Yesterday I went to twitch an Eastern Yellow Wagtail,a very rare bird for our part of the world. While I was there, I found some very nice insects to photograph as well!

#188 to #192 batch update

I post my insect photos on either BowerBird and Natureshare, and often some wonderful people can identify species that I haven't been able to on my own. And sometimes as I browse through these citizen science pages, I often see something that I recognise and get an identification this way. This is the case for the next addition, a simple fly that I had photographed and not paid much attention to when I was at Yea recently.

#188 Plecia (Plecia) dimidiata
The next photo was photograhed when I was in Seymour recently, and identified via Natureshare.

#189 Epiphyas ashworthana
 The rest of the addition for this post were photographed at the Williamstown Botanic Gardens last weekend.

#190 Parapalaeosepsis plebeia

#191 Euaresta bullans

#192 Vanessa itea
