Digiscoping

Here's just a few digiscope shots. This is pretty new to me and I'm still exploring... I will post some pics and info on the equipment soon, and also the microscope bit - now that is fascinating, but I still have to build up a better lighting setup. In the meantime, I include one shot of a butterfly (papilio demodocus) egg with the larva eyes/hairs clearly visible - it measured just on 1 mm!

Quick trip to Botswana

Had some time recently to drive up to Botswana - just a quick drive from Pretoria, going round the south of the Okavango delta, up to the Caprivi, then east to Kasane, and back to Pretoria.
A lot of driving in a very short time, but still a nice break!

Dewald's personal blog

My blogspace was created to show who I am and what I do, and sometimes what I don't do! It also shows what I can do, but I'll try not to show too much about what I can't do!!
