An interesting thing about tropical gardening is that the bugs are often more attractive than the flowers.
This little chap is about the size of a finger and spent a few days in February munching his (or maybe her) way through my Cape Honeysuckle. He has a neat little tail that sticks up at the back end (at least I assume its te back end, you can never tell with these things) and wags when you address him.
e no idea what he (she) eventually turned into, the biggest thing we have around is the proboscis moth that helps the sunbirds pollinate the hibiscusess.
