This is one of NZ's rarest species - the ngaio weevil, browsing on ngaio leaves that are toxic to almost all species. There are only around 300 on one island, Takapourewa in the Marlborough Sounds. Background sound is some of the million seabirds that live on the island.

They most definitely should!

Upper quarter left frontolateral view of a jewel beetle (family Buprestidae) on a white background. The entire body is metallic: the head, legs, and elytra are bluish-purple and the pronotum is a yellowish green. The large eyes are reddish brown on this specimen.

Our planet is full of natural jewels.

Most Natural History Collections, archives of the planet's biological diversity, are under-resourced—some direly so.

That is all.

A photo showcasing my circular sticker design. It is light blue and features various pollinators native to North America, such as the monarch butterfly, Sphinx moth, blue butterflies, hover flies, and squash bees. There are golden poppies framing the edge of the illustration, and text that reads “Support Native Pollinators”.

Support Native Pollinators stickers are now up in my shop! 🔗 below 🦋✨
