25.01.2022 Herennia multipuncta Commonly known as the ornamental tree trunk spider,is a species of spider in the family Araneidae native to Asia. It exhibits sexual dimorp...hism, the female being much larger than the male. It weaves a small web on the trunk of a tree or the wall of a building and is well camouflaged by its dappled colouration. Bangalore September 2020

22.01.2022 AWESTRUCK MORNING Near the crack of dawn, BIG auroras reflect off of a lake near Salcha, Alaska on September 28, 2020 at 5:30 am while I stand real still, truly... awestruck. This was one of those nicely balanced moments when aesthetically pleasing (read happy) clouds melded with a huge arcing aurora rising in the east. The purple tint was hard to see but no doubt it was there. Credit is due to resonance scattering, when dawn’s early sunlight strikes aurora photons and turbo boosts (ionizes) them into the magenta color spectrum. The magnitude of the aurora really blew me away and was a great way to end night #5 of the aurora hunt. See more

22.01.2022 Every mushroom knows its time ... It seems like this spring has been particularly conducive to ghost mushrooms (Omphalotus nidiformis) - or is it just because ...more people are out looking for them? The proverb "All mushrooms are edible; but some only once" also applies to these bioluminescent fungi. This is a 6-shot focus-stacked image. . . .

21.01.2022 Science and education lost a legend this year with the passing of Prof. Norman Platnick. Norm and other global spider experts donated their time to SIXTEEN LEGS to provide insights into spiders, research and careers around the world, and Norm delivers one of our favourite lines in the whole film. Our interviewees talked at length, but only snippets of this wisdom, insight and humour could make the final cut. Please help our fundraiser put all of their interview material together into a special online archive for students, researchers and enthusiasts. We're 86% of the way there, and you can help us cross that line! https://igg.me/at/sixteenlegs/x/13624660#/ #SixteenLegs Neil Gaiman

21.01.2022 You can't help but smile at this wombat Mum and her very mischievous youngster, who is really finding its feet and trying Mum's patience! We're always being tol...d that animals don't play except to build up adult survival skills - but this just looks like fun to me.

15.01.2022 For the past three years, hundreds of Tasmanian ’NatureTrackers' of all ages have scattered widely across the state to survey for the endangered wedge-tailed ea...gle in @BookendTrust's annual ‘Where? Where? Wedgie!’ survey. Are conservation efforts working? With population monitoring, it tends to be a long game to detect any changes," says Bookend Trust citizen science coordinator Dr Clare Hawkins, but we’ve demonstrated that our method is effective, and that there hasn’t been an extreme change in population size during the monitoring period." Guided by the project’s social science research, the focus now is to retain and increase volunteer numbers, to help get informative results as swiftly as possible. Clare is currently running a crowd-funder (https://www.pozible.com/project/where-where-website), and inviting more nature-lovers to take part in next May’s ‘Where? Where? Wedgie!’ survey by signing up to naturetrackers.com.au You can listen to Clare talk more about the project at #ESAus20 register at www.esa2020.org.au For more on 'Where? Where?

09.01.2022 Special Feature: Hiking the tallest mountain in Tasmania Mt Ossa An epic New Year journey thanks to Bonnie Smith with Justin Diprose, Kathy Davies, Andrew Ma...xfield & Kathryn Vernham Bonnie says: Kicking 2021 off well! Hiked into Pelion Hut via the Arm River track for 2 nights and climbed Mt Ossa - Tasmania’s highest mountain at 1617m. Best feeling ever and a proud moment! The weather was next level amazing but scorching hot conditions made it tough going! 100% all worth it and there is nothing more I love than being in the mountains with the best company! Located in the Cradle Mountain Lake St. Clair National Park, Mount Ossa (at 1617m elevation) is composed mainly of Jurassic Dolerite, as is nearby Cradle Mountain. The summit of Mt Ossa has a 360-degree view of Tasmania’s north-west, with visibility of nearly 30km on a clear day. To take on Mt Ossa usually requires a 2-3 day walk in from the nearest carpark and facilities, either at Dove Lake in the north, or Lake St. Clair in the south. The walk between these 2 points, known as the Overland Track, also offers access to the summits of Cradle Mountain, Mt. Pelion, and numerous others. The main summit route starts and finishes at a point on the Overland Track known as Pelion Gap, at 1180m elevation, and nestled between Mt. Ossa and Mt. Pelion East. The route involves mainly boulder hopping, which can be slippery when wet. Some small sections of snow may be encountered towards the top even in summer but can be easily crossed or avoided altogether. The views from the summit of Mt Ossa are truly remarkable it is something that will forever be etched into your memory.

08.01.2022 Sighting update: Thanks to some excellent contributions from Wild Ocean Tasmania, Pennicott Wilderness Journeys and Andrew Wratten, we have been able to identif...y the following from yesterday's sighting off the Tasman Peninsula. Based on fin identification, there was a total of 3 killer whales (there may have been more but images tell us 3) present. All 3 animals are known to the Killer Whales Australia, east Australian killer whale catalogue as EA_0060, EA_0062 and yet to be catalogued. The animals have been known to the catalogue since 2013 and are regulars to the southeast of Tasmania. At all sightings since 2017, these 3 animals have been sighted together as one family group. Thank you to our amazing contributors, without you we would be blind to the movements of these animals.
