Big day for wrap up Honours and Masters talks in the lab. Ying (Masters on months), Jade (Honours on lizards) and Ben (Masters on spiders) all did great talks. @Yiing

Vriko Yu launched a startup on the back of her Ph.D. studies in biological sciences. Now she’s the CEO of Archireef, a climate tech venture that’s working to restore fragile marine ecosystems by using 3D printing technology and terracotta. trib.al/fl5wZdG

Allow me to introduce you to the most ridiculous yet amazing thing you will see this week.

Spider Moth (Musotima (Ambia) instrumentalis, Musotiminae, Crambidae)
Members of a few Musotimine genera have wing markings suggestive of spiders, presumably as an anti-predation strategy.

A lyrebird has been caught mimicking the ‘evacuate now’ siren at Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
The native Australian bird has the ability to accurately mimic almost any sound it hears, with an evacuation triggered less than two weeks ago when lions escaped from their enclosure. #9News

In case you haven't already seen, there was an amazing new species of stick insect described last week. Everyone definitely needs to see this phasmid!

These trails are left by TINY caterpillars living *inside* leaves. Inside the caterpillar lives a bacteria. The bacteria causes the caterpillar to emit a hormone in its spit, which keeps the leaf green. It stops autumn in its tracks until it emerges. Nature is MINT😍 #Autumnwatch

to have worked with these animals for months to help conserve them but with no change in logging management would be close to pointless.
Thank you to @theprojecttv for helping spread awareness 🍃
Australia has become known for having more animals going extinct than most places in the world, and there is now another species facing an uncertain future. The cute little Greater Gliders.

It's a huge day in our lab! Both @MitzyPepper and @DamienEsquerre just won ARC DECRA fellowships for their fantastic research on arid zone conservation genomics (Dr Pepper) and venom evolution (Damien). Superstars.

This is the caterpillar of the Genoveva Azure butterfly (Ogyris genoveva), family Lycaenidae. Observed by #EntSocVic member John Lenagan near Rainbow, NW VIC, AUS, this caterpillar was seen feeding on Mistletoes and was being tended by ants from Camponotus species. #verycool

Had an excellent turn out at our first @Aus_ScienceWeek Walks and Talks event. @Yiing shared some interesting stories about native insects, and even brought along her pet diving beetles to share, which were VERY popular.
