kuedaDescription
One of the most amazing worms I've ever seen. About 8 mm long, climbed out of a clump of tunicates we put in a dish, undoubtedly sponges and other things mixed in too. Very close resemblence to this image, ID'd as A. speciosa at http://invasions.si.edu/nemesis/calnemo/GroupSummary.jsp?GRP=Annelids-Polychaetes, but given the image at http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/34212266 that seems like it might be wrong.

Ornate Wobbegong (Orectolobus ornatus)Observer
johnturnbullDescription
And the final of the three; photo taken at Fly Point. Dwarf ornates are smaller (doh!) - about half the size as adults - and have more of a plain but freckled face than banded and spotted wobbys.

Found on a coniferous tree. Seems to be something else than the P. lagurus that we have in Germany.

twillrichardsonDescription
Drama. These guys all normally get along pretty well, but here a squirrel decided to start something and nearly got kicked in the head as reward. Moments later they were back to munching sunflower seeds side-by-side again.

"An insect made in the 80s" according to one member of our party. Despite spending some time trying to get the exposure right to capture the glow and the animal, I still failed to get the head in focus. Oi.
