@wa-moths.bsky.socialWe had the first really warm spring evening of the season this weekend, which brought a good variety of moths to our Perth Hills moth light, including:
Fungi Snout
Painted Cup Moth caterpillar
Rhinodia undiferaria
Dichromodes leptozona

@wa-orchids.bsky.socialA few more of the pink and purple flowers to be seen around the Perth Hills at the minute.
Spring is in the air and it’s just so beautiful out in our native bushland at the moment!

@wa-orchids.bsky.socialThere are so many wildflowers in bloom at the minute, the Perth Hills is positively alive with colour!

@wa-moths.bsky.socialApparently today is Butterfly Big Day, a global day-long #iNaturalist butterflying event 🦋
So, here’s an opportunistic iPhone picture of an Australian Painted Lady (Vanessa kershawi) I spotted on my walk today.
@wa-moths.bsky.socialDasypodia selenophora - Southern Moth Moth 🤎💙🖤
Four of these fabulous moths visited our Perth Hills moth light last night, always nice to see these beauties!
@wa-moths.bsky.socialNicodamus mainae (I think)
One of the Red and Black spiders, this guy really stood out against the sandy soil of Wandoo National Park.
Although bright red in colour, these spiders are not as venomous as some of their Aussie cousins 🕷️
@wa-orchids.bsky.socialThelymitra antennifera - Lemon-scented Sun Orchid
Seen in Wandoo National Park, WA in early September on a rather overcast day ⛅
These orchids are endemic to southwest Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria & Tasmania.

@wa-moths.bsky.socialArotrophora cosmoplaca
After a warm spring day there was much more activity at the moth light, including this new observation for our Perth Hills garden. Seems these leaf roller moths are rarely seen with only 6 other records on #inaturalist
@leo-in-merimbula.bsky.socialFairy Tern with a courtship gift. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #WildOz
@ecosystemunraveller.comTime for another #AwesomeBirds #WildOz edition and this scamp is an entry-level contender. Most bird noticers know this bird well, black and white, Australia-wide except Tasie; notoriously bold…
