I do a bit of farm sitting for friends now and again, they have lovely gardens that are full of insects. There were hundreds of flower wasps this time. They aren't at all aggressive despite being about an inch long.

Cheers Ron.

Thanks Brian. Once the Monsoon/Wet Season starts we get a lot more (eg cicadas, rhinoceros beetles etc that emerge as the weather gets hotter/more humid towards the Wet Season - what the locals call "The Build Up") but generally there are plenty of bugs all year round here.
Of course I lots of bugs are attracted to lights and as I spend most of my time in the evenings sat in the undercover seating area with the lights on and a laptop the night creatures fly in.
This also then attracts the Asian house geckos on the ceiling of the undercover area around the lights.
