Federation of Tasmanian Field Naturalists weekend,
14~16 Mar 2008 |
We saw plenty of these Southern pyrgomorph grasshoppers, Monistria concinna. GF |
This wombat jawbone was near the lake in a sandy area with many wombat burrows. GF |
Exocarpos nanus fruiting on a rock outcrop near lake Ada. Note the paired diminutive leaf scales
distinguishing this plant from the very similar E. humifusus
which was growing on the other side of the outcrop. JW |
Southern grass skink, Pseudemoia entrecasteauxii. AT |
Heliotrope Moth, Utetheisa pulchelloides. It's a 'blow in' from the mainland. None of its food plants - Boraginaceae family and Crotularia sp. (Fabaceae) occur in Tasmania. AT |
Orange-spotted cicada, Diemeniana hirsuta AT |
Flatworms. AT |
