I love #iNaturalist. How else could I learn:

-this lovely #dragonfly visiting my yard is a Epitheca cynosura, Common Baskettail

-I last saw one in 2020

-the swarms of black gnats it’s hunting are minute scavenger flies, Family Scatopsidae, Tribe Swammerdammelini - magnificent name! #insects

The change of the season was marked this morning by the arrival of the first Angled Satin Moth (Thalaina angulosa) of the year.

We see these stunning moths in the Perth Hills between April and June.

Just over a year on from the bushfire that burnt through 5,300ha of bushland north of Perth, regeneration of the area is continuing. Autumn flowers are starting to bloom and butterflies are visiting 🦋

An extreme close-up of a jumping spider, staring directly at the camera while holding a dead ant. The spider is mostly fuzzy grey, with fuzzy pale brown palps, greenish black eyes, and red markings just visible on its abdomen.

I used to be very scared of spiders; nowadays I'm fine with most of them, and I actually love jumping spiders. They're just so cute. This little one (Phidippus johnsoni) checked me out while I was out doing photography the other day.

The autumn nights are definitely getting cooler in the Perth Hills… down to a rather chilly 11°C last night 🍂

Still a few brave moths about though, including this rather lovely Scoparia exhibitalis.

I cut down the huge CA pipevine plant I had been growing in my backyard because there have been so few sightings of pipeline swallowtails in my neighborhood on #iNaturalist.
Guess what I just saw on the plant that started to regrow while I was out of town?

There's a new fly in town.

While out for a run yesterday, in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, I noticed this unusual orange-headed black fly. I uploaded my photos to #iNaturalist when I got home and learned that it's the Australian Soldier Fly, *Inopus rubriceps* […]

There has to be a way to report people who insist on making biological records of potted plants in their houses on #inaturalist. Right?? More than just mark as casual observation.

Just had the biggest number of moths visit our moth trap that we’ve ever seen. There must have been 400+ moths along with several new species.

There was a large bushfire near us yesterday, not sure if that contributed to the bumper numbers 🤔

Side view of two moths, one much larger than the other. The larger moth has white wings with a pattern of black and red patches across them. It is facing a much smaller moth that is brown in colour. Zooming in shows that the much smaller moth has several patches of raised scales making it look quite spikey.

It's always nice to bump into a friend

This beautifully coloured Heliotrope Moth (Utetheisa pulchelloides) was sitting face to face with a very tiny and rather spikey looking Leptozestis sp. moth at our moth light recently.

Pixelart illustration of a rodent-like marsupial on a large sausage-shaped bunch of flowers. The flower bunch sticks upright, but the top, where the marsupial sits is bent downward from the animal's weight. The individual flowers are a creamy white against a dark brown background. The light brown marsupial sits with its tail wrapped around the flower bunch while holding one of the flowers in its hands. The artwork has a colour palette of browns and creams with some green between the flowers.

We are seeing quite a few of these lovely moths at the minute.

They are quite large, with a wingspan of 6-7cm, and can be seen in early autumn in Western Australia and South Australia

The wild weather over the weekend has certainly mixed things up with an influx of different moths into our Perth Hills garden.

This lovely moth is Hednota tenuilineata, a species endemic to Western Australia and a new observation for us.
