Nice man rescues wombats, ants run a car wash, bookstore and library cats, Jurassic gecko, and more.

Well, we are back in #Hawaii, where I will be chasing #geckos around the entire time like a Saturday morning cartoon.

The ornate flying snake (Chrysopelea ornata) – also known as the golden tree snake – glides from tree to tree by flattening its rib cage and twisting through the air like a shimmering ribbon. Its vivid colouring makes it popular among collectors.

The brown tree frog, also known as the Hong Kong whipping frog, found in the Phnom Prampi cave in Battambang province, a designated natural heritage site. The frog gets its name from the way the female uses her back legs to whip up foam before making a nest for her eggs.

A reticulated python in Phnom Preak, Battambang province. This python species, native to south and south-east Asia, is the world’s longest snake with many specimens measuring in excess of seven metres.

One of two millipede species collected during the survey (this one was discovered in Battambang in 2024), the vivid colouring of the Orthomorpha battambangiensis probably indicates that these millipedes are poisonous or, at the very least, unappetising for potential predators.

Named after the Hindu god of destruction, the karst-dwelling gecko shiva was recently discovered in Thailand and only described in February 2025. The survey team found it in Battambang, the first recorded in Cambodia.

Four populations of the were found and identified as a new species: Cyrtodactylus kampingpoiensis. Despite being described as one species, it is thought that, due to the isolation of the karst formations, these four populations are separate in evolutionary terms.

Another species discovered during the survey, the Battambang leaf-toed gecko – Dixonius noctivagus (meaning ‘night wanderer’) – is covered in tiny leopard-like spots. Only two species of the Dixonius gecko genus have been identified in Cambodia, far fewer than in neighbouring Thailand and Vietnam, which indicates it is likely that further undiscovered species exist in the landscape.

A new species of gecko in the Gehyra genus now being described was found in several karst areas in Banan district, Battambang province.

A spectacular new species of pit viper (from the Trimeresurus genus) was found during the survey and is being described. These highly venomous snakes track down their warm-blooded prey using the heat-sensitive pits behind their nostrils.

Phnom Laang Spean cave in Battambang province, amid a karst landscape formed of rocky limestone hills and caverns. The habitat features a number of unique characteristics caused by the dissolving of the rock, including large cave springs, sinkholes and sinking streams.

Secrets of the karst: new species found in Cambodia’s limestone caves – in pictures

A survey has revealed the vast array of wildlife – some never seen before – living within the south-east Asian country’s karst ecosystems. The work was led by international wildlife conservation charity Fauna & Flora in collaboration with Cambodia’s environment ministry and field experts.

A reminder, if it's needed, that smuggling geckos is a crime in New Zealand and you'll end up in jail.

I tip my hat to the Department of Conservation staff involved in the undercover sting to catch this smuggler.

While Jupiter is at college I’ve been tasked with caring for the Grandlizard, Sebastian. I get him through spring and summer and fall and Jupes takes him for the dead of winter (after an ice storm knocked out power for ten days a couple years ago and I was filled with anxiety the poor guy would freeze).

I like to provide Jupes with Seb portraits every so often. This is my latest. This could realistically be my only grandchild, so I may be getting a little eccentric about him. 😅

My kitchen just had a very small visitor.

One of the fun things about working in an ecology department at a university is being surrounded by people who are *really, really good* at finding interesting critters.

On Thursday we took our annual first year ecology course field trip to Ōtamahua/Quail Island. That's a reserve in the middle of Lyttelton Harbour, where the pest mammals (except mice) have been removed and lots of trees have been planted. It was a great day.

Here's entomology Masters student George Gibbs, a genius at finding insects, with one of a pair of mating stick insects that he found.

And, here's Jennifer Gillette, our talented herpetologist, with two native geckos she found. (Don't pick up geckos. Jennifer has training and a permit from the Department of Conservation to handle these.)
