Humans are not the only ones drawn to fire and flames. So too is the Australian fire beetle which loves exploring in the immediate aftermath of a bushfire.
Our archivist recently discovered notes about the insect, possibly dating back to 109 years, in one of our books in the Basser Library.

You may be breathing in pollutants right now but you wouldn’t know it. That's because Australia doesn't monitor indoor air to scientifically acceptable standards. A new Academy report to be launched today explores the policy pathways to improve indoor air quality.

Time to act to improve the air we share indoors
If you’re indoors right now, do you know how much of the air you're breathing is someone else’s ‘breath backwash’ or what pollutants it contains?
