Beautiful photograph!

@mikeletnic @Field_Ecologist I'd love to see some Namadgi dingoes! Any tips on where to see them?

My favourite Yellow Box!

[Eucalypt Australia - Archived @EucalyptAus]

😍 Look at this beautiful big Yellow Box (Eucalyptus melliodora)! Such an impressive tree.
Thank you to Instagrammer helenwylkscross for sharing this beauty with us by tagging #EucBeaut!

Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday, everybody! Make sure you give a big old gum a hug from us today!

So good to be able to see our native birds on these stunning WA wildflowers in Canberra

[Australian National Botanic Gardens @ANBG]

Our Banksia Garden is a haven for honeyeaters!

Birds such as the New Holland Honeyeater, 𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘦, love banksias for the large quantity of sweet nectar they produce.

Some wildlife of King Island

[NatureMapr @NatureMapr]

The roving Helen Cross has done it again, this time contributing a fantastic array of sightings from a recent trip to King Island in Tasmania!

Many thanks Helen, as your sightings are the first NatureMapr contributions for this remote island: https://t.co/wb5roASyq5

Great rescue effort by Aussiegall for this poor Satin Bowerbird, here's hoping there is a positive outcome for our feathered friend: https://t.co/6MD24nqVHS #NatureMapr #CitizenScience #RescueOperation @CitSciOZ

More supials in moonlight

[Helen Cross @HelenWylks]

Not many butterflies around now it's turned so cold but plenty of paper daisies at the ANBG to keep these going for a while

Do you live in Brisbane, or nearby, and know your local butterflies 🦋 ? If so, we'd love for you to join us as a butterfly moderator on Greater Brisbane Nature Map. Please send us a message if you can help 👍.

Brain fade - they're Imperial Jezebels not Spotted! Delias harpalyce at least

[Helen Cross @HelenWylks]

I'm hoping it's not too late in the season for these Spotted Jezebel caterpillars. (I saw some in June last year but only 1 made to the chrysalis stage, the rest died). There must have been at least 200 on 3 different Box Mistletoe plants! #butterfly #deliasharpalyce
