Hopefully this is a good sign for Christmas beetle populations in the future!

Christmas beetles have been in major decline due to climate change and habitat loss, but were once extremely numerous. Seeing such a large number was like stepping foot in the past.

Emerald tip beetle for #InverteFest! After seeing only 2 Christmas beetles ever prior to 2024, I was stunned last night to find an enormous swarm of emerald tip beetles - maybe 1000 in total - on trees in my garden. This is not something I thought I would ever see.

A drawing of Phreatoicopsis raffae, a strange isopod. It is walking through damp moss, and there are purple Utricularia grampiana floerts in the foreground

#Phreatoicopsis raffae is a strange #isopod in the suborder Phreatoicidea. These isopods mostly live in groundwater, but Phreatoicopsis is semi terrestrial. They are endemic to #Gariwerd, or the #Grampians, and unfortunately the place I saw it just burnt in a bushfire :(

A digitally-drawn blue poster featuring 12 different cicadas. The name of each cicada is written beneath them as well as their distribution in Australia. The title reads 'CICADAS - CICADOIDEA'
