The Bush - Part 10

In one section of long grass, there were hundreds of these Devil's Maiden Moths flying around.
They belong to the Ctenuchinae family.
The Scarab beetle had different colurs to what I normally see and is possibly one of the Fruit Chafers.
This plant was flattened in the middle and I wondered what had spent the night cuddled up in it. Maybe some small buck?
With all the rain, there are many species of mushroom popping out right now.
