Cape Caco (Cacosternum capense)Observer
olvr_aDescription
Locality visited during the second major cold front of the season. Roughly 20 males heard calling. Animals only heard and found in the furrows, not in the surrounding flooded veld: suggesting a preference for disturbed open areas. Since my last visit (July, 2021), the locality had been heavily ploughed, with little to no natural vegetation left. Thus frogs were mainly calling from the shallows of the waterbody, although some where observed calling from dead emergent vegetation. No females or eggs were observed.

Don't see these in the Karoo that often. Was hanging out in a pool created by a 'dwarswal' in the road.

Owlflies (Subfamily Ascalaphinae)Observer
bartwurstenDescription
How's this for drama in the bush. Owlfly larva catches and decapitates ant but ant goes down fighting and lodges its jaws in the predator's head. Eventually the predator too succumbs to its injury.
