those yellow headed flies are cool! I tripped the first time I saw one when I was there. Australia also has more species of biting flies (horse fliies, march flies,etc) than anywhere i have ever seen. It didn't matter where you went, there were at least 3 different species trying to take your blood at all times!

How convenient that those mating grasshoppers (pic 6) came with "Care Instructions"!

Love the Orthoptera, wow.
