Great map! Absolute shocker of a heatwave situation. And it’s still only January. ☹️😮

Four #insects from the weekend at #Gluepot Reserve in the #mallee in #SouthAustralia

#Grasshopper (#Orthoptera) in the genus Pardillana - https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/taxa/528093-Pardillana

Merimna atrata, a Jewel #Beetle (#Buprestidae, #Coleoptera)

#Antlion (#Myrmelontidae, #Neuroptera, perhaps Bandidus)

#OwlFly (#Ascalaphidae, Neuroptera) in the genus Suhpalacsa (which spells Ascalaphus backwards)

I just spent three nights camping at #BirdLife Australia's #Gluepot Reserve in the #mallee of #SouthAustralia.

Tenperatures were reaching 37/38 C, and it's very dry there. The reserve has a small dam, but no other open water. The #MurrayRiver is about 40 km to the south.

But the #insects that appeared at night were primarily #freshwater species - lots of #CaddisFlies (#Trichoptera), #Chironomidae and #BackSwimmers (#Notonectidae).

This video shows the insects attracted to a #LepiLED UV light. If these mostly originated down at the river, the insect #biomass streaming up across this region (wind-blown?) is absolutely staggering.

There were also LOTS of #microbats everywhere, and the stars were incredible.

@Roentare

Have you ever seen a mallee emu-wren (Stipiturus mallee)? This sweet little bird is a Triodia spinifex specialist, using the spiky, tussock-forming grass as shelter from predators and a safe site to nest and forage!

The mallee emu-wren was once found across mallee shrublands and heathlands, east and west of the SA–Victoria border, but land-clearing, bushfires and droughts have removed its habitat from much of its former range.

Learn more about this beautiful little bird and the efforts to protect it… https://ausgeo.co/malleeemuwren

I've been wondering about these cracks/grooves that appear in many places in the #mallee at #GluepotReserve.

The sand kicked up at the sides suggests animal activity, so I assume these are used as sheltered trails by #ants.

If so, do they dig them themselves or do they use cracks produced by water activity/drying or follow channels previously made by roots?

I had a great and sanity-restoring few days camping, birding, mothing and photographing at #GluepotReserve in South Australia, a #mallee site managed by #BirdlifeAustralia.

The Sunday before last, I was in South Australia and decided to brave the 37C temperatures and visit #GluepotReserve (run by Birdlife Australia). I took the Whistler Walk. The #mallee was beautiful, though most wildlife was sensibly resting. Many #WoodSwallows and #HoneyEaters coming in to water in front of the hide.

It's a beautiful place - I hope to go back and camp there when it's slightly less hot.

Any ideas on what formed the burrow in the photo?

Kangaroos were resting under a River Red Gum further away from us. A mother and her joey moved away from the group and kept a close eye on us. We didn't want to disturb them so turned around and went back to our car.

[Edit: I replaced the photo for a better one I took of the same scene]

Yet just a couple of kilometres down the road, the environment was completely different. Here there are wetlands intermittently fed by the Murray River.

The first photo shows a River Red Gum that grows all along the Murray River. It requires intermittent flooding to survive.

The 2nd photo shows the edge of Lake Mournpall. When we walked along it kookaburras flew through these trees with their distinctive laughing cry.
#Mallee #Australia #RoadTrip

Today we continued our #RoadTrip in the #Mallee region of north-west Victoria. This is a hot, dry, sandy area. Mallee is an Aboriginal word for water and the common eucalyptus trees that are native to this area are called Mallee gums. They hold water in large bulbous tubers underground - see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallee_(habit)

The Mallee region is largely defined as the region where these type of eucalyptus trees grow in Victoria, #Australia
