After chatting with Brian the other day about the paucity of butterflies, two minutes later I walked outside
and saw four of these gamboling high up in the branches of a large overgrown shrub.

I recognize them now! (Checked out the link). When I visit Australia, one of my favourite things at market is cheese-stuffed peppers – it must be those!

Maybe … these are quite small peppers. I shall post photos when they ripen.

But a happy happy fruit chafer. I think it’s funny, you can almost hear the chewing.

I know what you mean! We have two similar fruit trees – peach and nectarine and we have never managed to find a way of discouraging birds or bugs.
It frustrates my wife no end when the trees fruit but I have given up worrying.
I doubt we would eat so much fruit in any case so let the bugs and birds feast upon them.
