March 2020

These first pictures were taken at Wee Jasper, NSW.  In a small window of time between the bushfires and the Coronavirus, a camping trip was enjoyed.

The rest of the pictures are from Canberra and the parks/reserves within the ACT, where we are now confined, but thankfully still able to go urban exploring...

Rainbow Darkling Beetle Chalcopteroides sp.



Black Geometrid Melanodes anthracitaria



Amethyst Imperial Blue Jalmenus icilius.  Unfortunately, no photo of the top of this butterfly, which flashed blue like polished labradorite.



Common Brown, a male  Heteronympha merope



Shingleback skin Tiliqua rugosa



Mistletoe flowers Amyema sp.
