110715 Rifle Range Road, Nangka trail

Went for a short trip with Nicky and Steven to look for our larger mygalomorphs. Got cut short by rain but we still managed to see some interesting things.


Amblypygi. The other green amblypygid was still on the same tree as well, deep in a crack.


This beetle-like insect is actually a true bug (Hemiptera).


Katydid.


Fascinating caterpillar.


Phasmid.


Red springtails seem to be quite common on this trail.


Strange worm. It seemed to have a row of eyes on each side of the head.


Nicky pointed out the log with the longhorn beetles (Epepeotes luscus).


The longhorn seemed disturbed by my phototaking and flew onto my shirt. I disturbed it again to get it off and it flew onto my pant leg. Guess it likes clothes...


Scutigera centipede. Defecating?


Strange looking cockroach.


Another cockroach spotted by Nicky who noticed its eyes were blue.



A couple of sparassids.


Tiny spider in a small hollow on a tree trunk.


Not particularly good ant mimic Corinnidae? This one was large, about 12 mm long.


Pandercetes lichen huntsman.


Nicky noticed a tangled web under a leaf full of baby spiders. This photo showed only about a quarter of it.
