If you're able to travel to Melbourne, don't miss out on a spot at our insect identification workshop being held in March! It will give you all the information (and confidence!) required to ID common grain pests. Also a great refresher for establishment pests.

The world needs more Bug Inspectors. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 Thanks to Official Bluey TV for ‘Slide’ a wonderful and important episode. 💙 #bluey #wildoz #tinynature #ozinsects #ozinverts

‼️ Cutworm = 3 different species that are impossible to tell apart as larvae. The common cutworm is actually the #Bogongmoth! This is an #endangeredspecies critical for Australian alpine food webs🕸️ For non-chemical management options, read Pestnotes: cesaraustralia.com/pestnotes/cate…

A few weeks ago I had a cotton aphid infestation on my hibiscus 😬 (left photo) I left them alone 🤷🏼‍♀️ Today (right photo) nature's pest control: parasitoid wasps have done their work and it's COVERED in mummies (the husks left after the wasp larvae hatch out 🤯) #biocontrol

More wasp (I think?) activity. Some gall forming insect is SMASHING this banksia 😱 (why yes, of course I've collected some to see what hatches out)

Learn more about our organisation, Australian invertebrates, and what you can do to help them by listening to this recording of our Co-Founder and Conservation Manager Dr @Arachno_Jess on ABC Sydney. #ozinverts #ozinsects #wildoz #tinynature abc.net.au/sydney/program…

Keynote speaker Dr Hanabeth Luke @SCUonline introducing the seven principles of resilience thinking at #GGAForum23 - and encouraging delegates to keep knowledge and ideas flowing within and across regions and organisations. “Keep that open mind”

Severe under-resourcing is a common theme in invertebrate research, monitoring, and management. We continue to ignore them at our peril. At IA we’re giving a voice to Australia’s invertebrate science to change the narrative, boost resourcing, and improve outcomes. #wildoz

Join us for an engaging webinar that will explore new ways of collecting and analysing data to support invasive and threatened species management in Australia The webinar features four expert speakers, relevant case studies and time for Q&A. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

The battle against "pest" misinformation begins! ❤️🕷️

Today at Invertebrates Australia we're launching #NoSpraySpring! We know #invertebrates are vital for healthy ecosystems; they're also fascinating! If you agree, join us in avoiding insecticide sprays to protect the good bugs this spring

Discovered so many spiders in a 5min search of our garden this morning 😍 I LOVE spring! #NoSpraySpring

🦗 #NoSpraySpring – Check out the national campaign by Invertebrates Australia 🪲 to stop unnecessary insecticide use and encourage good bugs in cities scimex.org/newsfeed/nospr…

I am so upset by this decision, this urban wetland is such a special place. Here are my kids enjoying the space and searching for critters. And the new plan with replacement "trees and turf" look so boring 😭

What's an arachnologists favourite flower? . . A spider orchid!!! 😍

I'm moving to greener pastures (or bluer skies?) 👋 you can find me here: bsky.app/profile/lizzyl…

I'm super excited to be starting as a VC fellow at Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Feb 🎉 I am also looking for a PhD student to join me. Please share this opportunity and get in touch if you'd like to know more ecu.edu.au/scholarships/d…
