Tried something a bit different this weekend, science stand up comedy!
It was definitely a challenge to re-write my normal spiel into a comedic script, but I loved the experience and it felt great to get some laughs

I appreciate all the nature I'm surrounded by where I live in the city.
But heading into the bush this week made me realise that one thing I miss is big trees (and I mean really big, old trees).
So we made sure to give this karri tree a hug ❤️🌳

The beaches in south west WA are paradise. And you never know who you might meet!

I wasn't really in the right headspace for social media at #ESAus2024 but seeing and sharing stories with so many old friends (and being in Melbourne!) really filled my cup.
It was a good reminder that Ecologists are my people and that I'm so grateful to be able to work in this space!

I love public art, there's nothing quite like it to connect people with place, especially when it portrays local species
Found these in Preston Beach, WA this weekend

Saw so many cool spiders on my bushwalk today! Most exciting was an aggregation of Christmas spiders, with one black colour morph in the midst!
(Normally they're black, yellow and white)

There are so many fascinating creatures that live right under our noses
This wrap around spider has a "twig" structure on its abdomen that gives it the most amazing camoflauge
(when sitting on a branch and not some meddling human 😆)

This is an impossible choice Nick and you know it! 😆
But in this case I'll share this Fiddler Beetle (Eupoecila australasiae) because they're so striking

After a week teetering on the edge of burnout I promised myself a weekend without work.
I didn't quite keep it, but I did get in a lot of what I need to build me back up
Beach, bushwalks and boardgames

I've reached the age/stage of life where I'm simply obsessed with trees.

Amazing displays on "form and function" at the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Karlsruhe.

After 4+ years working remotely it's SO good to have an office again.
Nothing like invertebrate posters and Lego to make sure that your work space is a happy place

Found a hairy pie dish beetle today!
Apparently the "dish" helps protect against arthropod predators. I guess the hair does too?

I'm a terrible entomologist 😶
I was today years old when I found out that Sawflies are Hymenoptera!
I've been fascinated by the larvae for most of my life and only JUST thought to learn about the adults.
They're like 🐝 but with 🐛 babies 🤯

I've been noticing the tell tale signs of leaf cutter bees in my garden, and today I found one making her nest!
