Me photographing JEWEL BEETLES last week 🥰🥰🪲

Check out the incredible bower of the Great Bowerbird!!!
How a bird makes this is 🤯🤯🤯

Shower time for dorky Tawny 😅

Another Batty treat 🦇🦇🦇
How beautiful is this 🌅

The cryptic Boxer Bark Mantid 🥊🌳

Or as I like to call them the “Catch These Hands Bugs”✨

Woah, the famous ‘boof’ 😱
The implosive boof of a Barramundi sucks in everything in front of it to catch its prey 🐟

I love working with them everyday, this never gets old! 💙

JEWEELLLLL BEEEETLES!!! My favourite thing we saw in WA were these beautiful Stigmodera jewels 💎 🪲

Sexy Enamel Orchids 💜

Jewels and sundews in a flower wonderland 🪲🌸

A famously rare nocturnal ant, Nothomyrmecia, found only in mallee habitat in South Australia. It forages on very cold nights when most insects are immobilized on the tree trunks.

Damn I’m missing WA already.
How badly do you want to be walking around this diversity heaven?? 🌸🪲
