Eastern
three-lined skink, Bassiana duperreyi. AT |
Weevil Gonipterus scutellatus, AT [More] |
Helicarion cuvieri and weevil. Kevin found the snail and weevil cuddled up together in a piece of bark; not sure what was going on.

Stiphidion facetum (Stiphidiidae), commonly called the sombrero spider or crinoline spider, due to the shape of its web. Under an over hanging rock the web is attached from a point above where there is a retreat funnel, and spreads downwards and out to catch falling insects. Owing to a lack of overhanging surfaces at Tinderbox Hills, this spider had made its web in a large roll of bark. AT |
This cute little fungus was less than a centimetre long. AT |
