Tourno- fortia moth, a small brown moth and the black white spotted butterfly; spiny legged grasshopper and smaller brown Acridid; a brown longicorn and gray weevils on Scaevola; small Asilid, Strationyid and very small yellow-brown flies; small flies; small black Agromyzid fly (possibly the cause of the leaf mines), leaf- hoppers, small bugs, bees, about Scaevola.
