Trithemis Kirbyi

Kirby's or Rock Dropwing.
Here it is surprisingly well camouflaged on a rock.
Only the male is red, and has the amber wing patches.
W&MT remark that it is a "wide" and that it is characteristically settles on rock, or the side of a farm drinking troughs. This one was found in Bisley N.R., not far from a stable's drinking trough.
The amber wing panels set it apart from other similar coloured dragonflies.
 

Coprinus disseminatus.

The Fairies' Bonnets.
Now apparently Coprinellus disseminatus, and was Pseudocoprinus disseminatus.
These were growing on a log on our compost heap. It is one of the Ink Caps that does not deliquesce into a black ink.
 

Longhorn beetle

It's reasonably, but not entirely safe to call this beetle a Longhorn, family Cerambycidae.
(Any help in defining it further would be appreciated.)
What amazing feelers!
   

Spider (Thomisus) -1-

This crab spider, well camouflaged has ambushed a bee. They are known to take on the colour of the flower they are on, here a white Arum Lily. The flies surrounding are Jackal Flies (Milichiidae.) They are often seen accompanying a predator, stealing body fluids of the prey.
 
Here is another Crab Spider, taking on a pink colour

       

Erica Oatesii

I have found this Erica occasionally at Injasuthi, usually on the south side of a river bank (here the Injasuti River.) I hope I have got the name right. Some of E. Oatesii have a red flower.
Hilliard and Burtt posit that the Drakensberg is really an outrider of the previously more extensive Fynbos of the Cape because the two share a significant number of genera.
Incidentally they quote 672 spp. in the Cape, and 26 in the 'Berg, so taxonomy is not easy.
 

Gleichenia umbraculifera (Umbrella Coral Fern)

A hand lens opens up a whole new world of ferns.
The Umbrella Coral Fern. The meaning of its specific epithet: carrying an umbrella.
I have found it often in the foothills of the Drakensburg (this from Injasuti.) The following is from Neil Crouch:
He mentions that it is found rarely at Ferncliffe, but that it is probably an import from the Cape. The fronds divide repeatedly, the underside is silvery, the stipe hirsute, and the sori smooth.
   

Robber Fly (Asilidae) -1-

A very efficient predator. Vincent Carruthers mentions that they take their prey in flight and also that they have a painful bite if handled. The eye is the real colour.  I can't recognise the prey it has here. The leaf is that of a Polka Dot xHypoestes that self seeded prolifically in our garden.
   

Brachystelma pygmaeum

I found this Pygmy Brachystelma in the Kamberg in late autumn. The plant is found more commonly in the foothills of the Drakensberg. It has the stamp of the Asclepiadaceae.
