Contemplating a Eucalyptus vernicosa.

A gaggle of field naturalists!

We found this handsome beetle Adelium licinoides in deep moss.

Jake and Qug collected a giant springtail (Collembola: Uchidanurinae) from the surface of Jake’s frog pond.
All of 5 to 8mm long!

A wolf spider captured by Ian's son Jake.
