Ouch!

Three individuals seen. Concealed themselves in 1-2 cm wide deep almost vertical crack in rock when alarmed. Droppings on and at base of same rock on which they were basking in the midday sun. Contents: insect remains

Found on the path, it kindly let me know it was there by huffing loudly from behind a bush. Struck in my direction when I walked toward it, then huffed its way off the path.
Last image is a gif of it striking (in slow-mo), it gets itself right off the ground.

Individual was observed at night (time estimated) just after a heavy rain crawling around buildings at the research station. It was still raining lightly when found. It was removed and photographed the next day and released in the same area. Time is estimated, it was well after dinner but not before midnight.

Options from cape point:
#Geissorhiza tenella
#Geissorhiza bonaspei
#Geissorhiza schinzii

Eating plant stalks, fully in the open, over at least 30 minutes, with a lot of people on the dune very close to it. Completely unafraid of people, or anything else, seemingly.

Next to the Kastaiingskloof river, in deep sandy soils.

It was originally fynbos (or renosterveld), then for a very long period of time grazing pastures. Now, the adjacent land is ploughed for rooibos tea plantations. These grow in the fence. So they should be able to persist in the corridor adjacent the river.

If W aletroides, it is red listed as Near Threatened.

I am not sure of this ID. Only one plant was seen here. Watsonia laccata occurs, but was not seen in the immediate vicinity. Could it be a hybrid or different looking W laccata? Some years ago similar looking plants were seen on the road verges in Aalwyndal, was told they are not W aletroides. Both pink and orange W laccata being present there and we thought that regular mowing could be an explanation for the appearance of possible different looking W laccata.

The area is earmarked for development

Moth pollinating an aandblom, the flowers open in the late afternoon/early evening while it is still light. They are closed by sunrise, though I didn't find out when. I've looked for moth pollinators before by torchlight and never had any luck. At 5.50 with sunset at 6.40 it was still very light. About 10 moths were visiting a small population of flowers. So it would seem the action happens before sunset.

minor ants approx 5mm.
Never seen this before, ants raiding antlion traps and stealing their prey, removing the dead/dying termites. Didn't see any antlions being attacked, but the ants were in the bottom of two different traps wrestling food from the antlions.
