User's notes

older photos that I must have missed uploading for ID. Not sure whether they are beetles or something else. It had been raining that day and suddenly there was sunshine and blue sky for about 15 minutes. All these tiny beetle things came out on the ends of this bursaria and most were end to end like this. presume mating.
