December is typically firefly season in Australia. Adult fireflies only live for a few days and don’t eat, as they don’t have any mouthparts. Keep an eye out for these beautiful beetles over the Christmas break! #firefly #christmas #ozinverts Images: Tim Paasila (iNaturalist)

Check out our Inside JEB commentary article on our new paper just out in JEB. I think it does a nice job summarising our findings!

Fewer Christmas beetles seem to be seen each year, but we have lacked formal monitoring programs to help bolster these claims. 🪲🕵🏼‍♀️ Help track them by joining the "Christmas Beetle Count" on @inaturalist & check out @invertsau for ID help! spr.ly/6013QHBxW 📚✨

This #WorldSoilDay we want to highlight curl grubs. They are the larva of scarab beetles (a family which includes Christmas Beetles) and can be beneficial to the environment. Avoid using chemicals to help keep them alive! Read more: theconversation.com/dont-kill-the-… #ChristmasBeetles

Stories like this highlight why conservation assessments are critical. They flag what species are present so we can protect them and use legislative power under the EPBC Act. Without this, they can easily go under the radar #threatenedspecies #spider #WA watoday.com.au/national/weste…
