Hi! I'm Ying, and I'm currently doing my PhD based at ANIC and ANU. I'm studying a group of leaf mining micro-moths (Gracillariidae), and over the next few years I'll be investigating their host plant usage and diversity! More info at my website! yingyluo.wordpress.com/ (1/n)
A hand holds a leaf against a bright light, clearly showing a leaf mine made by a caterpillar. The caterpillar is also clearly visible.

Replying to @Yiing
Membership is FREE for 2024, and is open globally. I would encourage anyone interested in Australasian lepidoptera to apply, as you will be eligible to apply for grants, attend AGMs and receive the newsletter. There will also be an in-person meeting in Canberra in 2023!

How do I know so much about MABA? I'm a council member. ✌️ I would love to see people from all backgrounds join MABA, even people who don't identify as lepidopterists. Artists, naturalists, teachers etc are welcome!! maba.org.au/

A lyrebird has been caught mimicking the ‘evacuate now’ siren at Sydney's Taronga Zoo. The native Australian bird has the ability to accurately mimic almost any sound it hears, with an evacuation triggered less than two weeks ago when lions escaped from their enclosure. #9News
