I love how delightfully diabolical evolution can be.
A new article in Annual Review of Entomology is about the plant pathogens that are vectored between plants by herbivorous insects. These plant pathogens invade plant tissues and make plants sick. To get between plants they hitch a ride inside plant-feeding insects. The healthier the insect the more plants it will feed on.
So, what do the microbes do? They manufacture chemicals that make their insect hosts stronger. Several ways that they do this have been discovered "from balancing a nutritionally deficient diet" to "upgrading its defensive biochemistry against natural enemies."

Watch out: the weather is warming and the American ragwort aphids are *multiplying*.
American ragwort aphids specialise on Senecio plants, of which NZ has many species, including some threatened endemic species.
The aphid arrived in NZ (somehow) in 2023, and has since got to work munching on our plants. The American aphids are also now being tended and protected by exotic Australian ants.
In the South Island these aphids are still restricted to Christchurch city (at least based on observations on #iNaturalist and #GBIF).
It would be great if you could keep a look out for them in other places. They're the only big black aphid in NZ (black bodies and legs).
Here are three of my observations of them from this month.

The kōwhai trees are in fabulous full bloom across Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ. They're blooming about a month late this year and are making up for that with a huge number of flowers.
That's making the korimako and kererū in the Cashmere hills happy. The korimako are pollinating the kōwhai flowers, which I guess also makes the kōwhai happy, to the extent that a kōwhai tree can be happy. The kererū, on the other hand, are eating the kowhai's flowers and young leaves.

Yellow Sand Verbena (Abronia latifolia) has some unique adaptations: it relies on salt water to survive and uses psammophory—coating itself with sand—to deter herbivores.

There's a tiny native mite in NZ, about 1/10 mm long, called Eriophyes totarae, that only feeds on the buds of male tōtara trees.
I learned about them this month when Rene, a PhD student at #LincolnUniversityNZ studying tōtara seed and seedling ecology, asked me what the aborted buds were on a tōtara branch. We looked it up and learned of these tiny mites.
I've since found some in Ōtautahi-Christchurch city.
