katiew's Identifications

I spent a couple of days in the winter of 1991 with a friend practising macro photography on the fungi we found in Riccarton Bush. The photos weren't taken with an eye to identification. Perhaps some are of interest though, since this was over 20 years ago now.

(Is the last photo the same thing?)

Very strange - a caterpillar trapped by a dead leaf ... the caterpillar may have just died and fallen onto the leaf, which subsequently shriveled and curled as it dried out ... but the caterpillar doesn't look decomposed, in fact it looks rather fresh ...
