My favourite little parasite this season:
There were at least 2 individuals of this small braconid wasp stalking the green vegetable bugs on the Cleome in my garden. (Were they first discovered in NZ by you, Stephen?)
The first one (photos 1-7) quite obviously was successful in parasitising a bug, but the second one (photos 8-17) was never quite able to connect, despite a number of attempts.
It was fascinating to watch the behaviour. Mostly the wasps managed to stay behind the bugs, and so out of sight. However, occassionally they were rumbled and then got short shrift from the Nezara.

Was crossing the road above a stream that went through a culvert under the road. The water level was high due to recent rain and the steam flowing fast.

I like Platyhelminthes. Can someone make a Tas flatworm site so that I can ID them?

Very strange observation - this doesn't appear to be the only winter-flowering Thelymitra (T. hiemalis), so I'm not sure what's happened with flowering in early July!

This is Neil the seal. Juvenile male southern elephant seal. NRE and the Marine conservation program are monitoring sightings. He is tagged and of known age, born on the Tasman peninsula. Has returned two years in a row to Tasmania for a winter haul out.
Also my study species of my PhD project so this encounter was extra special.
