Cane Toad Bust 2025! 🚫 These introduced pests are a huge threat to our native wildlife. Cane toads are poisonous at every stage - from egg to frog. They’re toxic to anything that tries to eat them 🐊
The most humane way to reduce toad numbers is put them in the fridge for 12 hrs, then the freezer

Check out the fluff! This gorgeous female Emperor Moth was snapped by one of our members in Kuttabul 💛
Emperor Moths are found in heavily forested areas and come in a variety of colours. You can tell males and females apart as males have lovely feathery antennae.
