Lestes plagiatus

The Common or Highland Spreadwing.
This is a male, and the superior anal appendages are characteristic for the species, being prong shaped with a single prominent tooth.

I have added these pictures of the bronze form. It is parasitised by mites. I don't know if the mites affect the colour of the damselfly.
 

Babiana rubrocyanea

Wine-cup Babiana, and aptly named.
Impossible colours, but this is how the camera saw them. We found a number of these flowers at Darling, Western Cape. It is very similar to another W Cape bulb Geissorhiza radians.
 

Phrynobatrachus natalensis

This frog goes by the delightful name of the Snoring Puddle Frog. This one was in the stream that went through our garden, and it certainly appeared to be mud-puddling.
The pupils are horizontally elliptical, there are no adhesive pads on the toes and the back toes are webbed about halfway down.
 

Genet

A damp patch appeared on our ceiling. I went up to investigate: sure enough I found a midden. Apparently it is not uncommon to find a genet in a suburban ceiling.
One afternoon I heard a commotion on our roof. I thought monkeys were involved. I managed to photograph this Genet before it was off in a flash.
I think this is our Small-spotted Genet (Genetta genetta.)
 

Mantis and camouflage

I think the top are of our Giant or Common Green Mantid. The middle is that of the young, characteristically with their tails raised. Green is a good colour for for an ambush predator among leaves. Below is the camouflage of what is probably a Bark Mantid, adapted for a quite different environment. Compare the camouflage with that of our Rock and Tree Agamas.
