  1. Here's a new long-horn beetle for our house and garden: the NZ endemic *Eburida quadriguttata*.

    This one flew into our house yesterday evening and landed next to my computer, so I photographed it. I've been recording all the species in our garden for over 15 years and this is the first time I've seen this species.

    It's also the 14th observation of this species from the Christchurch District on #iNaturalist (and those are all the observations from here on #GBIF ).

    I'm not sure why it is seen so infrequently. I read that their larvae have been reared from a wide range of native plants, from Clematis and bush lawyer vines to beech and rātā trees. The grubs take two years to develop and emerge from late August, so this one's right on time.
