Spotted this striking #MysteryMoth last week while exploring Wandoo National Park, an area of wandoo eucalypt forest around 80km east of Perth.

This moth is clearly a Curved Horn moth, but I haven’t been able ID it further than that yet 🦋🔎

Drakaea livida - Warty Hammer Orchid

These orchids are masters of deception!

Their unusual shape tricks males of a particular species of thynnid wasp into pollinating the orchid as they believe the orchid’s labellum is actually a female wasp

Today is #WorldShorebirdsDay so here’s a Hooded Plover from Australia. #shorebirds #birds #WildOz

Another of the warm Powerful Owlet from 2 days ago. We checked on it yesterday and it was fine. It was roosting about 50m away in a tree with its sibling, and one of its parents was in the next tree.

Time for another #AwesomeBirds #WildOz edition. This simple repeated call features in the soundscapes of woodlands, parks and gardens across eastern & northern Australia. The caller is a medium-sized bird, mostly grey and often overlooked. Do you know this one?

“Native animal populations have been very badly affected, with the extinction of at least 10 species attributed to the spread of foxes.” Consequently, fox hunting, with hounds, is legal here in Australia. Not so #WildOz
