Yippee! The 2nd Edition of "A photo guide to common cicadas of the Greater Sydney region" is now available at: cicadarama.square.site I'm very happy with the finished product & I hope you all will be too! #selfpublished in the #BlueMountains #cicadas #wildoz #ozinverts #Sydney

We have an opportunity to join the #Seedbank team at #AustralianPlantBank the Australian Botanic Gardens Mount Annan @AustralianBG! More details here: iworkfor.nsw.gov.au/job/seedbank-p…

@cicadamania @_DrPop_ Haven't heard of this one. I'd hazard a guess it might be referring to a White Drummer. I've heard from some people who refer to a Floury Baker as a White Ghost.

@_DrPop_ @ecotechnica -- have you ever heard of a "White Whiskey". My guess is a teneral Macrotristria angularis, a Floury Baker, or a White Drummer. Someone in their 70s said they remember the name from when they were a kid.

@Helen_E_MC @Aus_ScienceWeek I demand a recount 🤣

@TimCurran8 Spectacular! Thank you 😊

Here you go, @ecotechnica. My last day up #Bindea and here's some flowering Ehretia for you. #SEVT #bestvegetation

@TimCurran8 That would have been amazing!

@ecotechnica The best fruiting I ever saw in E. mem. was towards the end of the Millenium drought, and straight after. It was going gangbusters.

One for @TimCurran8. Couple of shots from Semi-evergreen Vine Thicket near Kaputar a couple of weeks ago. Only Capparis mitchelli flowering this late in the season. #bestvegetation #ozplants

@TimCurran8 Nice! Interesting seeing the variation. Notelaea had finished fruiting further north. Very minor evidence of Ehretia flowering in Planchonella but nearly all had senesced with no fruit. Still haven't managed to catch that one in flower or fruit.

@ecotechnica Thanks, @ecotechnica! Definitely #bestvegetation. There was some C. mitchelli flowering up #Bindea this week, and also some Ehretia membranifolia (not all of it though). Notelaea microcarpa was in early fruit too. Breynia oblongifolia in full fruit.

@TimCurran8 Couldn't agree more 😁

Massive congrats to Jessi for a terrific final honours seminar presentation about her research on plant-pollinator networks in mining rehab areas! @whydee13 #proudsupervisor

Feels great to be back out in northwest NSW surveying TECs after a long wait with La Nina. Vine thickets and Ooline still looking nice and green. Brigalow by contrast is very dry. #ozplants

@Mozziebites Sure is!

Look who dropped by for a visit. This is a Floury Baker (Aleeta curvicosta) cicada, right @ecotechnica? #wildoz

@Bundogs Wonderful photos! 😁

Childhood memories of growing up in Sydney and nearly going deaf was sparked yesterday when I found this Green Grocer Cicada in our Furcraea 🥰 #warrnamboolbotanicgardens #memories #luckyfind

@cicadamania @_DrPop_ Yep. Hopefully a few more over the weekend with some long overdue warmer weather!

@_DrPop_ @ecotechnica seems like the Silver Princesses have started singing inaturalist.org/observations?o…

@cicadamania @HereBeSpiders11 Yep I can ask. Are you just after sightings?

@HereBeSpiders11 @ecotechnica Is there a way to ask folks contributing to your Blitz to look for Massospora fungus infections? @HereBeSpiders11 studies it.

@Bundogs I know right! #nofilter 😆

@ecotechnica Wow 😳 that second pic 👌

Great spring weather for a walk to Red Hands Cave in Glenbrook. We even spotted a crayfish! #bluemountains #visitnsw #bushwalk

@TimCurran8 @MRossettoEvoEco @FlorallyLorally @AustralianBG @RBGSydney Yep! We walked a fair way down to check out the SeVT. Can't miss the Triodia either 😆 Really nice area. The workshop was good. It has been encouraging to see the keenness of the communities for this work to continue. Great to chat with Sandra too!

@ecotechnica @MRossettoEvoEco @FlorallyLorally @AustralianBG @RBGSydney Have just seen the Triodia in your photo... There's another stand further down the hill where it is mostly just Triodia, right next to SEVT. How was the workshop?
