  1. 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.

  6. der #DailyBug meiner heutigen #AuwaldRunde ist eine köcherfliege 😍
    viele kennen von denen eher die larven, die im wasser leben und berühmt dafür sind schützende köcher aus steinchen, pflanzenteilen oder anderen materialien ihrer umgebung zu bauen. sind es auf jeden fall wert ihnen hinterherzuwikipedieren :)

  13. Two nights ago I was by the Boyle River, in the NZ Southern Alps, helping set up a drift net to sample stream insects. My flash light was swarmed by many hundreds of caddisflies.

    Here's what that looks like without a flash, with the long shutter speed catching the flights of the insects. I held my light at arm's length to avoid a face full of caddisflies, although I still got plenty up my sleeve.

    Swirly!

  18. #Macrozoobenthos (here #Trichoptera larvae) in rivers of #SouthTyrol use #microplastic for their protective cases... 😞

    Would be nice to make a study on the percentage of used plastic pieces or plastic area 🤔
