@wa-orchids.bsky.socialKennedia coccinea - Coral Vine
A climbing shrub which usually has vivid orange & cerise pink flowers but we spotted one plant recently with stunning pale pink flowers.
Endemic to the south west of Western Australia.

@wa-moths.bsky.socialSetocoris sp. - Sundew Bug (I think)
These tiny plant bugs are often found in association with carnivorous sundews (Drosera sp.), where they steal the sundew’s food.
This bug was on a Stylidium, rather than a Drosera, which made it much easier to spot.

@wa-moths.bsky.socialOne of the drawbacks of being so woolly on a wet winter morning 🐛💧
A caterpillar we spotted recently on a cool winter’s morning in an area north of Perth. No idea what this guy is destined to metamorphose into 🦋🔎
@wa-moths.bsky.socialThe mystery of the missing Bogong moths as backyard moth traps fail (so far) to record any of the 14,000 moths tagged at the end of last summer 🔎🦋
