Huge Dung Beetle. Found it swimming in a horse water bucket. Dunno how it managed to get in. Probably flew. I love dung beetles! I stuck it onto a recent horse poop and it dug in within a couple of seconds.
This next picture is a native bee honeycomb. A small swarm had settled on a branch of a tree near the house, but within two days they were gone. This 10 centimetre honeycomb was left behind and had fallen to the ground, still with a little honey inside. Lots of tiny brown ants (unknown) and two Bulldog Ants were tucking in! It is incredibly light to touch and very delicate - easily damaged.
