A response to a perfect day on Bruny Island a few weeks ago while places I love in Tas burned, then watching the cyclone on the news and reading Question 7 by Richard Flanagan

Someone on the other app asked me what the green beetles were swarming on his wattles in December- I reckon it was cuties. Green scarab beetles (Diphucephala elegans)

You can find it in the highlands and central
highlands of Lutruwita / Tasmania. But it’s fossil pollen is found around the Southern Hemisphere. This was filmed Mt Field NP, which I think is one of the most impressive places to see the species.

It was on this brick wall outside the hospital, made me whimsical and reflective - not my usual content, but it was so nerdy and delight for I had to share. Excuse my croaky voice.
