I took some more photos of the red swordgrass moth that I found in my puparium on the 18th September.

I also collected a couple of wasp spider egg sacs so I can see them hatch. I suspect that the smaller one is not viable (or maybe it wasn't a wasp spider).

It was a really nice day today. I took the camera out into the garden in case there was anything interesting. This red aphid was enjoying our basil. Also, there was a male and a female Galeruca tanaceti beetles crawling about in the undergrowth.
