I'm just seeing how to post pics now. It's a photo of a swarm of red shouldered leaf beetles that were attacking a tree in the backyard, they nearly stripped it in an hour. It's a dud pic. Turf Finder | Red-Shouldered Leaf Beetle | Turf Finder

I'm getting the question mark in the blue square for these pics - can't see them.
Can other people see them OK, or is this an issue with the new forum software?
@Debater Slayer , you may want to see responses to this.

Aha I can see this one, but none of the previous ones. Is it you or is it the system?
It's the upgrade, all pics previous to it seem to be gone.
I just posted it. Anything previous is gone

That's a bit of a bugger. Your pictures are (were) beautiful.
This is happening with older attachments. I'm not sure why, but it's something we're aware of.

Let me try something.
Well that answers my question. I did a copy and paste and also copied a url and used the image button. Both obviously worked.

@Dan From Smithville I think this is a type of Abispa, Australian Potter Wasp, maybe Abispa Australiana. It hangs around the bird bath and was easy to photograph because it only lands for a split second.
Got a Damselfly this afternoon, there's so many different ones that look exactly the same to me that I don't want to guess.
Edit: OK I will guess, maybe this one. Austrolestes leda - Wikipedia

I recognize him. That's Jimmy.
Wondered where he had gotten off to.
I think this one deserves more than one rating!
I've a fondness for a winged thing that sting.
I suppose that subconsciously, that may have influenced my desire to wed.
Very nice pictures.
Your damselflies look like our damselflies and probably like damselfly species everywhere. Identification of insects can be challenging, but some groups are more so than others.
It is a challenge I have accepted in trying to know the species that surround me.
I think that is an added enjoyment to see others with the same interest. Most people don't notice to even know what they are missing out on.

I've just rolled out of bed. Slept late and rough. My mind is only coming online in pieces as yet.
I learnt the difference between damselflies and dragonflies yesterday. Prior to that I thought everything was a dragonfly.
That's great! The dragonflies, being generally the larger, with the more visible characters are much easier to identify in the field. But those little guys are much more challenging. There seem to be a lot of local field guides available or coming available to help with both.
That has always been my problem though. I can't know everything, but I try anyway.
