By mimicking the morphology of local pea flowers the Wallflower Orchid (Diuris orientis) tricks nectar-hungry invertebrates into pollinating it’s flowers without the nectar reward #OzPlants #ARIScience #BradicalBotany (Thanks to colleague Mike Duncan for taking me out)

The Eltham Copper Butterfly inspired this year’s entry to the #TSBakeOff from our team at #ArthurRylahInstitute. This stunning 28-cake collage reminds us that conservation action is a collective effort 💚 #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay #BiodiversityMonth @TSCommissioner

[Tom Hunt @moth_nut]

It's #TSBakeOff time! This year's entry is a Mallee Striated #Grasswren. These beautiful #threatenedspecies are declining from drought, fire and habitat clearance.
The #cake base is a native spice gingerbread, with plumage created from a mix of sliced dried fruit and coconut.

Really looking forward to this seminar on Monday 31 Aug, Peter Menkhorst on some of our history at the Arthur Rylah Institute - wildlife research in Victoria, 1970 - 1995

On route to see a good friend in Victoria on the weekend, @BiodiversityGuy and I stopped off to explore an interesting patch of bush. I photographed this common skink but now I realise the sighting represents a southerly range extension #wildoz

@itsdaveoneil @774Melbourne @lehmo23 @Jane_L_Kennedy I was just reminded of how much I loved these shows! But, they don't appear to be on SoundCloud anymore. Any chance they exist somewhere else @itsdaveoneil ?

@InvertoPhiles @timbawden @CSIROPublishing Thanks Nick. Hope you’re well

[Brad Farmilo @Ecologuy]

Im after a nice colourful field guide to moths of SE Australia. I’m going to buy it under the guise of a birthday present for my 2 y.o. Any suggestions? Ping @InvertoPhiles

[Brad Farmilo @Ecologuy]

@timbawden @InvertoPhiles @CSIROPublishing Thanks Tim. I’ll check it out.

[Brad Farmilo @Ecologuy]

@BiodiversityGuy I had Tik Toc for 300 minutes. My immediate reaction was “oh yeah...”, followed by “oh no, it’s late”

[Brad Farmilo @Ecologuy]

Please join the celebration!

Hi @TimSmithMP I am a research scientist and bat expert living in your electorate, and with colleagues wrote this piece to explain why your suggestions that the Yarra Bend flying-foxes should be moved or culled are extremely ill-advised. https://t.co/Nqm0si9lIg

@irwinslutasedu1 Is that one or two goats? Also, why Fidel Castro? I’m intrigued.

[Brad Farmilo @Ecologuy]

Hey let’s have a competition. Who can come up with the best goat name? I’ll start: ‘Bleater Andre’
