I notice the bees are out before dark (still at 90F) to visit the flowers and just go to sleep on site. They get active for a few hours in the morning and hide out during the day. I enjoy my night walk in the garden but have to take detours here and there because of the spider webs. I would try to find small grasshoppers and throw them at the web. Wow! The spiders are very fast to catch the prey. Sometimes the grasshopper is too big and the spider has to battle quite a bit, wrapping and hoisting the package to the center of the web to enjoy. And of course, the goldfinches love the sunflower seeds and empty every head before the seeds are even mature.

Not so exotic here, I love our wildlife, especially the bird calls.
Barbara, the blue-tongued lizard is a family pet, they have their babies and hang around fairly close to rocky areas and inside pipes I've laid near the main house, we've had many generations of them over the years.
The kangaroos love the pumpkin patch to lie in and watch the world go by, it's lovely seeing young roos leaving mum's pouch for the first time, so gangly and leggy -)
I hope people from all over the globe post here, it's great to see animals from other countries and hear how you all interact with them.
