How long did you have to wait for those 'Adults Only' photos?<br /><br />What climate does Esperance (beautiful name) in W.A. have? I ask because I have seen those (or at least flyers just like them) quite often in my European Mountain village (1000 m above sea level).

The sharing of your detailed observations of the creatures that we live with is great stuff for this nature lover. Oh, love the roaches too :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
