@WAtoday One area of "low-hanging fruit" would be to employ more scientists at EPA, DBCA and WAM to tackle our deficit in taxonomy and biodiversity knowledge.

@georgecmcgavin @brunoasm Or is that just lots and lots of fingers?

[Nik Tatarnic @BikemanNik]

@Coleopterist @brunoasm And looks to have two hind tibia branching out of the femur?

Just did an online personality test to see what career I would best be suited to.
Apparently I’m a 99% match for “real estate agent”

Here's some microscope footage of the new stink bug species, which belongs to the Deroploini tribe of Australian Horn Bugs #newtoscience #speciesdiscovery #bushblitz @unswbees @wamuseum @Parks_Australia @Earthwatch_Aus @bhp @WAParksWildlife

A newly discovered stink bug species has been found in Western Australia during a two-week expedition near Kepa Kurl/Esperance. This bug exhibits remarkable features such as curved horns and bright yellow tusks, which serve as camouflage on its host plant. https://t.co/Xy46HwApzg

@CMacQuar How did you know? It’s a super cool bug, I must say!

[Parks Australia @Parks_Australia]

Exciting discovery in WA! A @BushBlitz2 expedition has uncovered a species of stink bug new to science. The team worked together to document and study the flora and fauna in the Esperance region. Support our wildlife and the future of conservation by following #BushBlitz.

❗️ We were attacked by Kremlin bots

About 10 thousand Kremlin bots have subscribed to our account in the last 24 hours. Soon they will start mass unsubscribing so that Twitter algorithms will not promote our posts and account.

We have seen similar attacks on the accounts of other independent media and Influencers from many countries.

There is only one purpose of the attack: to suppress the truth.

Now we need your help in the information war against Putin's bot farms. Help us spread our posts and the posts of other independent media through likes, reposts and comments.

Thanks to everyone for the help!
