I expect she will write something about that soon. In the meantime... back to this quiz. Hullo Greg, I'm glad to hear that you are better at fish than you are at insects... :) (That was a colon, followed by a bracket, and the Boy Wonder tells me it will come out looking like a proper smiley.) Hi Emil, you have evidently been hiding your light under a bushel! Did you spend your childhood as Roxanne now does, crawling around on the ground? You have got just four of the answers wrong - and I'm so mean that I'm not going to tell you which ones. Yet. (I'm waiting for the experts to chip in and give us the Latin names!) Hola Judith. (The machine thinks that you are in Germany - so it's given you a German flag - but I happen to know that you are in Spain.) No, photo D isn't the back end of a cone head mantis, but I can see why you might mistake it for one - and there is a cone head amongst the photos. Keep looking!

If I am right, it is quite a delicate looking Mantid and this is it's sttrange looking rear end. The rest of the photo's I will have to work on in between puppy feeding(see other bits in iberianature forum!)

But Im not too clever at creepy crawlies! A is a spider and B is a fly. E is maybe another kind of spider. G is definitely some kind of a weird snail I is another spider. J is a wasp and K is a tarantula. L is the odd one out because there is nothing there at all except a bit of bent grass. Hey Roxanne! You could do a fish quiz. I'm a lot better at identifying fish. I like you story about Isla perdigera. Greg. Well I’ll have ago at this! But Im not too clever at creepy crawlies!
