abc.net.au/radio/canberra/pr… A question was thrown out locally asking if anyone had noticed the increase in spiders generally this year...and why? I had certainly noticed and have my theories so fortunately got a chance to air them this morning. My bit starts at 1hr 5 min, 50 secs in

In 2008 I saw genus Diadoxus (L pic), and that was by accident whilst on a birding trip out west in NSW. I'd like a dollar for every Callitris tree I have looked into since then. Finally reacquainted with this beautiful jewel beetle (R pic) last week at Scottsdale Res, NSW.

ACT teen finds rare jewel beetle 65 years after first ACT sighting canberratimes.com.au/story/7… via @canberratimes A real privilege to be able to pass on knowledge to bright young citizen scientists like Luke here. On top of this, timely rains have made for a bumper beetle season!

1/10: A quick thread about our new superb #parrot research! Tree hollows are vital for wildlife but we know surprisingly little about them! The paper is 👇🏽 but read on! sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Shout out to @LRayner_ @MulligansFlat @owensecology & McLean Cobden too!👏🏼👏🏼

Sometimes one's OCD penchant for finding jewel beetles can result in a headache.......a nice headache that is :)

Sad, smoky days at the moment. Empathy to all those affected by widespread fires (My Nan lost her home in 2003 Canberra fires, luckily i pulled her out of it first!). I can't help feeling for all the little creatures lost, who probably won't get a mention; like this Castiarina !

This is the best thing I've watched in a very, very long time. Simply exquisite. Thanks so much for the heads up, @BiodiversityGuy iview.abc.net.au/show/maratu… This is also why our @ABCaustralia is so special.

A small sample of the beautiful Buprestids (Jewel Beetles) I have found and photographed in my first season. They range in size from 4mm (the little bronze Diphucrania sp.) to the yellow-black jobbie at 39mm. ACT tally now 30+, add NSW and I'm over 60 sp. Great journey so far!
