Found this amazing Bird-Dropping Spider (Celaenia excavata) today. Their camouflage is extraordinary. This lady was hunkered down on her leaf, waiting for nightfall before hunting male moths using pheromones #spiders #invertebrates #biodiversity #PerthHills
A good source of ideas for anyone wanting to increase #biodiversity and encourage native wildlife into their garden 🦋🐝🦘🦎🦜

One of the first #orchids of the season to flower in #WesternAustralia, the Leafless Orchid (Praecoxanthus aphyllus). As its name suggests, flowering plants of this species have no leaf #orchid #biodiversity #ozflora #ozplants
Most south west orchids go dormant over summer but #Cryptostylis ovata is a species that can be found still in leaf as well as flowering over the summer period with these tall sequentially flowering inflorescences! On top of that they are also sexually deceptive! #Orchids

NEW TODAY in @Nature - A vast DNA tree of life brings open access DNA sequences of >9500 flowering plants! 🧬 This invaluable resource crafted by 279 scientists lets us answer key questions about modern plant life and look back in time to its origins 🌿 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Going through some macro shots of #insects and came across this shot of an Australian Brown Antlion (Myrmeleon acer). Its eyes are totally mesmerising #biodiversity #WildOz #macro #PerthHills
I grew up next to Whistlepipe Gully in Perth hills, Western Australia. Today I went to look at trees I’d walked under with my grandma when I was little, that I was looking forward to showing my baby, and they’re dead 😢 Experts are warning of “forest collapse” across southern WA

The forests of south west #WesternAustralia are stricken by drought and the onset of a drying climate. Here, a karri at the very northern end of species range heralds a retreat, although they have nowhere to go 😭 #Climatechange

ECMWF via @windy has rain forecast mostly for the south in the next 5 days. #climate
@wa_orchids It's hard to watch this from the east coast. Those trees. So sad. Hoping it will rain and rain and rain.
@wa_orchids Fingers crossed for you. I wish I could send you some of our rain.

I love Tassie devils. Had a young one under the deck once snacking on a pademelon that had died. It didn't growl (didn't want to attract competition), but we could hear it crunching. Incredibly strong jaws.
@qikipedia They have terrifying growls
@wa_orchids I'm so glad to hear it's rained. I hope everything gets soaked and springs up with vibrance.
@wa_orchids Yes, hoping for more over the next 48 hours.
Kookaburras are 'perch & pounce' predators that nest in hollows. If your farm trees are too young for hollows add a few of their special nest boxes. On the cool side of the shed is good. That one act will mean the pair will kill approx 6 mice, snakes etc a day for 20 years.
@wa_orchids You really need it. I just got back from a month in Perth & I was pretty shocked. Even the street trees in the city are dying. I hope the rain happens. SE Tas has the same problem so you’d think someone in authority would be taking the climate seriously.
@wa_orchids Did you get much? Lots of dark clouds here south of the river but barely rained in the end😭
@wa_orchids Never seen the south/west so dry. The animals, other than those fed with hay, must be suffering. The lack of rain and the dead and dying fauna is very telling. Can only hope winter does her stuff.
Our Observation of the Day is this Blue Button #hydroid colony seen in the United States by cjs041! You can see the individual polyps making up this colony surrounding the central, circular float. More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/2…

20.4mm recorded at Wongan Hills North in the 30 minutes to 9:08am.
Nepenthes jacquelineae is endemic to West Sumatra. It is primarily epiphytic but occasionally terrestrial. Its habitat is cool and foggy montane cloud forests. The upper pitchers catch flying insects, while the lower pitchers hide in moss and catch small invertebrates like snails
