Welcome to my Insect Photoblog. Here you can find various macro photography shots of the insects in my garden at home in Brisbane, Australia as well as from around the local area and further abroad. Bugs, grasshoppers, flies, beetles, dragonflies, butterflies, cockroaches, phasmids and more. The odd spider may also manage to sneak its way into this blog, perhaps I should call it the Invertebrate Photoblog instead. Use the search box below right to search for your favourite insect.

Common Fly Musca sp. Near Aseroe rubra
Common Names: House Fly, Common Fly, Bush Fly
Species: Musca sp.
Family: MUSCIDAE
A common muscid fly attracted to the decaying scent produced by the Anemone Stinkhorn fungus (Aseroe rubra, pictured bottom left, see my native plant photogrpahy blog for more shots of this interesting fungus). The fly helps the fungus to spread its spores.
