S is for Spiny Leaf Insects

 I got this cute little insect to have in my classroom this year. This one is a female and quite happily hung out on my hand. They do have sharp little spikes, but these aren't painful until you try and move them. 

This is a baby spiny leaf insect.

Moon Lantern Festival

Last night was the Moon Lantern Festival in Adelaide as part of the Oz Asia festival. Despite the long lines and crowds of people, I had a great time.
