This beautiful checkered weevil is a Botany Bay Weevil (Chrysolopus spectabilis). It was found by one of our members clinging to a wattle near Inglewood in central Victoria.
Golfields Series: Another interesting bull ant recorded on the trip was Myrmecia harderi. This species is rarely recorded in Victoria and is known to inhabit sandstone ridge shrubland and Callitris woodland.
Inglewood Series:
There were lots of amazing ants observed on our trip to Inglewood including this one, the Toothless Bull Ant (Myrmecia mandibularis). Inglewood is a bit of a hot spot for for Myrmecia with 10 different species observed with 15km of Inglewood
A praying mantis? No, a mantid fly!
Mantidflies are members of the family Mantispidae and are more closely related to lacewings then they are to praying mantids. This individual was found snacking at a light sheet set up by one of our members.
Meet Australia's most recently named and described longhorn beetle: Excastra albopilosa! I was lucky enough to discover this remarkable species while camping @binnaburra in 2021. Have a read of the UQ News article for more detail and a link to the paper. #entomology#newspecies

Australia's reputation is being tarnished by the alarming rate of species extinction within our borders. The decision by DEECA, contrary to scientific recommendations, may push the critically Mt Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly closer towards extinction.

Another beautiful night and EntSocVic is out again with the moth sheet. This time with the Shire of Nillumbik at Fergusons Paddock in Hurstbridge, running another citizen science event.
This amazing christmas beetle (Anoplognathus pallidicollis) was seen by one of our members during an ENTSOC excursion to Seymour last summer. Adult Christmas beetles (Anoplognathus sp) are known to feed on the foliage of Eucalyptus whereas the larvae feed on the roots of grasses.
Virginia Reserve Series:
Apple Looper (Phrissogonus laticostata), is found in every Australian state & territory. Adults wingspan = 15mm, males have projecting bunches of hair-like scales on the costa of each forewing. #entsocvic#moths
Virginia Reserve Series:
This beautiful Spur-Throated Locust (Austracris guttulosa) arrived on the moth sheet just as we switched of the lamp. Why do the most interesting (and largest) insects come when you're packing up :-) #entsocvic
