Delighted by the wonder of it all :-)

A veld nut, specialising in Succulent Karoo, Renosterveld, Semi-desert and Grassveld plants and animals, and photography.

Proud member of the African Caterpillar Rearing Group (CRG).

• Reared from larval stage project (southern Africa) - our collection of beasties reared from eggs or larvae.
• Pillar Parade project - help to identify lepi caterpillars in southern Africa.

Caveat: I am notoriously bad at estimating size and distance. Please take all measurements (that are not backed up by a ruler or some other scale) with a pinch of salt.

I am also sharp as a bowling ball in the morning, and pretty useless in the afternoons. You can mostly trust morning IDs, but afternoon IDs should be treated with the suspicion they deserve.
