There's a new fly in town.
While out for a run yesterday, in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, I noticed this unusual orange-headed black fly. I uploaded my photos to #iNaturalist when I got home and learned that it's the Australian Soldier Fly, *Inopus rubriceps*. This looks to be the first record of it anywhere in the South Island south of Nelson.
The species is a minor pasture pest and is well-established in NZ's North Island, where it was first seen in 1944.
As the world warms, NZ continues to fill with Australian insects. They first establish in the North Island then spread southwards. The pattern is repeating over and over. In this case, the two Australian parasitoid wasps (Neurogalesus spp.) that feed on *Inopus rubriceps* have also already established in the North Island.
*Inopus rubriceps* is a distinctive fly, especially the female which has the orange head (the male is all black). Keep an eye out and you might find some more of them.

Rubén Portela et al. tested two key #Hypotheses in #InvasionBiology by focusing on two traits likely to confer #Invasiveness of plants, #Nutrients and #Competition, compared four species of #Carpobrotus that differ in invasiveness, using species from four continents: Africa, Australia, Europe and North America.

I was identifying observations on #iNaturalistNZ over lunch and found this.
It's the lacewing, Mallada basalis, and it's just arrived in the South Island.
There are now three observations from Nelson, the earliest on 21 April.
It's native to Australia and warmer islands like New Caledonia, Norfolk Island, and Kermadec Islands. It got to the North Island by 2010.
Australian insects keep spreading southwards as NZ warms.
