One of my favourite little bugs are the 'Wattle Pigs'. It is a type of weevil (Leptopius).
As it's name suggest these guys feed on our native wattle tree leaves.
A kid friendly bug that doesn't bite and is fairly slow moving.
Wattle pigs have a bumpy hard shell covering their wings.
........and are well camouflaged to blend in with their surroundings.
Keep your eyes peeled, you never know what you may find in your garden.......
Happy bug hunting,
