Oh, and here's the most elegant moth that flew into our moth lights this week.

It's the appropriately named Exquisite Olearia Owlet (*Meterana exquisita*) and we saw just one of them and it looks to be the first record of the species from North Canterbury.

Just look at it!

I've been up in the North Canterbury mountains this week, helping to teach our third-year undergraduate field ecology research course at #LincolnUniversityNZ. It was great fun, as always, helping students to carry out their first ecology research projects.

I'm collapsed back home, and very tired, after a week of long days outside then nights spent at the moth light. I've got a small mountain of photos to sort out and upload. That can wait until another day but here's a small taste.
