🦗💨 What looks like a stick, smells like peppermint, and wages chemical warfare in the world's oldest #tropical #rainforest? Peppermint stick insects in #Australia's #Daintree.
These #insects have evolved alongside Pandanus #plants for millions of years, using them for camouflage and chemical compounds for their defensive spray. They can aim and fire mint-scented #chemicals that burn and disorient #predators, but green tree #ants have their own formic acid spray in this brutal battle for survival.

Rainforest wanderer – Birds in the landscape winner
‘The southern cassowary is a keystone species of the #Daintree, dispersing seeds that help sustain the world’s oldest rainforest. On this day, I noticed one upstream, slowly navigating the creek in search of fallen fruit. I positioned myself on an embankment and waited as it advanced with deliberate steps, pausing to pluck fruit from the water.'

'Crabs Dream of Flight' is an image I found on the coast of the #Daintree region of North #Queensland
Crabs create these little balls when filter feeding - picking out all the good bits between the sand granules. It's not every day they make pictures though!

Large imposing white trunked tree on the foreshore in Cooktown far north Queensland - taken yesterday after a grueling 4 wheel drive on the way to the top tip of downunder.

At first, it looks like a fungi 🍄 . But in fact it is a single-celled slime mold which taxonomic placement is still contentious. I got this one (Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa) in the Daintree RF of northern Australia.
What a fascinating group of organisms!
