Coverage: Aldercroft Heights intersection to the first stop sign. I walked with Matt.
Newts: we had 23 dead newts, 2 of them tiny juveniles. 13 of the newts were found on the reservoir side, and 10 on the hill side. The road seemed like it was recently cleared from soil and rocks, with some newts probably.

This appears to be the first record of the genus Coptera in Australia, unless anyone has a previous one? https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/109500586
This specimen may represent a new species and genus of the family Monomachidae: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/47650538
It's a wingless female, but only two monomachid species are known in S. America with wingless females, both in the genus Chasca (https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/v...
I'm not aware of any formal publications mentioning this, so the observation by @gwark may be the first: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/77697710

...This genus Paramesius is newly reported from Hawaii, based on the observation posted by @Deptula https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/41970564 which elicited an independent confirmation by @kmagnacca who has collected it on Kauai and Hawaii in native forest. Not a great surprise as it's a widespread genus. Not sure if it...

🗺️ The broad-headed bug Nemausus sordidatus is distributed mainly across Africa and the Near East, known only from southern Spain, Portugal and Sicily in Europe. Whether this species is native or alien in Europe remains undetermined, although according to Davranoglou et al. (2021) it probably it has been probably introduced to Europe since (1) its host-plants Acacias are not native to the region, (2) individulas are found in man-made habitats and (3) all European records are quite recent...
🗺️ Despite its name, the species is not native to America! In its description, Linnaeus mistakenly assumed the specimen had been collected from America. The native range of the Rosemary beetle includes Mediterranean countries, (e.g. Albania, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Serbia, Macedonia, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey), although after 1936 it spread to many northern European countries (e.g. Belgium, United Kingdom, Austria, Netherlands, Latvia ...
🗺️ Native to North America, Ozognathus cornutus has managed to spread in Europe and the Mediterranean reaching France, Germany, Gibraltar, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Portugal (Madeira), Spain (including Canary Islands), Switzerland, Tunisia and the United Kingdom.
🏕️ During entomological field surveys individuals of Ozognathus cornutus were collected on Eucalyptus trees. The ecology of O. cornutus is still rather unknown and the species has been recorded at a wide range of hab...

Hi everyone who participated in the 2022 DeLuca Preserve BioBliz! We are organizing our 2nd Annual DeLuca BioBlitz for February 24, 2023. Be on the look out for registration information.
We're excited to host the 2nd Annual DeLuca Preserve BioBlitz!
Did a couple of dives around Point Drummond yesterday.
One on the south side at the boat ramp area next to picnic beach and another at Hall Bay.
Entry at the boat ramp was easy, however the slight WSW swell made for surgey conditions and low vis. Felt very spooky. Lots of seaweed variety on the rocks, some big fish (couldn't identify or get good pictures of), a juvenile eagle ray, and some sea-stars. Max depth 5m
Dive at Hall Bay was much better, area is very prot...
