This photo shows the fine and delicate teeth of the Raukawa gecko (Woodworthia maculata) biting my finger. If you are bitten by a lizard of this size in New Zealand, don't pull away as you can rip out the lizard's teeth and hurt it (and he's not hurting me). Handled under permit.

"We found strong evidence that mice reduced the abundance of ground-dwelling invertebrates, in particular caterpillars, spiders, wētā, and beetles, and reduced the mean body size of some taxa."

They’re the workhorses and future of New Zealand’s research system - yet university PhD scholars are continuing to struggle on payments that are below the minimum wage. Now, there’s a call for change nzherald.co.nz/nz/should-nzs-…

"A couple of weeks ago, on the outskirts of the Central Otago town of Alexandra, a pile of 28 dead native lizards was found. They’d been regurgitated by a cat, which had caught and eaten all 28 in just several hours." thespinoff.co.nz/society/02-10-…

Picked up a nice selection of local lizard friendly plants to plant my verge today, courtesy of my local council nursery. Muehlenbeckia complexa, Coprosma propinqua, Poa cita, Dianella nigra, Pimelea prostrata, and Coprosma acerosa 'red rocks'.

Kāpiti District Council are currently consulting on their Animal Bylaw. It's a good time to ask them to require microchipping and desexing of cats, and to stop people feeding stray cats in public places. If you have a couple of minutes, make a submission. haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz/review-of-the-…
