<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.84px;">Erupting from the bark of an acacia was this strange form. Carefully removed it looked as below and was approximately 10 cm in length.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Interested i searched for what had emerged and suspected a variety of Longhorn Beetle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next night this guy turned up on the doorstep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nV0d8LhsIeo/Wj0Mtx2btrI/AAAAAAAAFzs/A8ArjF5O-1w-Giw1UkwdfAKEcqD_xcLaQCEwYBhgL/s1600/20171223_003608.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="179" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nV0d8LhsIeo/Wj0Mtx2btrI/AAAAAAAAFzs/A8ArjF5O-1w-Giw1UkwdfAKEcqD_xcLaQCEwYBhgL/s320/20171223_003608.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Large and extremely aggressive this Longhorn Beetle is not to be messed with as it can pack a serious bite with those impressive mandibles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With decent rain before the hot spell many insects are out not often seen and in numbers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An interesting find worthy of a post.</div>

For all of you that have enjoyed this blog over the last 10 years you should know that it all started due to the man pictured above.<br />
Denis introduced me to blogging and nurtured my love of photography and the natural world.<br />
<br />
As a naturalist with attitude he was not afraid to take on the big issues and was a champion of causes such as those to stop fracking and the preservation of aquifers that supported fragile and rare environments.<br />
<br />
Denis passed peacefully in the early hours yesterday after a long battle with leukemia.<br />
<br />
Always upbeat and a fighter to the end he was a positive example and mentor to many over many years.<br />
<br />
We continue in the memory of him and the example he set. You will be missed Denis.DBS Young Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12919496005905774971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1323073461815211749.post-58431426188692446902016-03-27T16:25:00.000+11:002016-05-10T08:54:47.383+10:00Primitive creatures battle in a desert Puddle<div style="text-align: center;">
On a recent trip to the inland of Australia I was able to check out some temporary surface waters around the South Australian and Northern Territory borders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To my surprise I was able to capture a fierce battle between a horse shoe crab like creature and what I assume are two small predatory larvae.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had been informed that the little horse shoe crab like creature had been found in ponds on top of Uluru after eggs had been blown in the winds with the smallest ponding of water enough to hatch them.</span></span></span></div>

Devil in Recovery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the discovery of the mouth cancer that has decimated over 90 percent of the Tasmanian Devil population back in 2009 moves have been made to ensure the continuance of this unusual marsupial.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dGr6oSne4OI/VqL9bjwdIrI/AAAAAAAAB80/PupxKVEz-LM/s1600/DSC_5496.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dGr6oSne4OI/VqL9bjwdIrI/AAAAAAAAB80/PupxKVEz-LM/s320/DSC_5496.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasman_Peninsula" target="_blank">South East Peninsular</a> is being used as a sanctuary to release disease free animals in an attempt to stabilise the wild population numbers. The land of the peninsular is separated from the rest of the island by a man made canal used originally to hamper the escape of convicts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Devil's will posture over food and occasionally this ends in nasty bites that can spread a transmittable cancer. This is one of only two types of cancer possible to transmit and it is done so through open wounds caused during a fight. The only other known example of such a cancer is transmitted dog to dog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There may also be a feline strain though I believe it has not been substantiated yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sS992ljlegw/VqL_SlJEfcI/AAAAAAAAB9A/vVMOEECCeec/s1600/DSC_5460.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sS992ljlegw/VqL_SlJEfcI/AAAAAAAAB9A/vVMOEECCeec/s320/DSC_5460.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keeping track of animals released in the sanctuary is carried out by staff from <a href="https://tasmaniandevilunzoo.com.au/" target="_blank">UnZoo</a> to monitor numbers and gain a better knowledge of this elusive and relatively unknown creature.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When in Tassie make sure you pay them a visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If and when the disease dies out in wild populations, the plan is to restock the island from the captive breeding programs. As not all animals in the wild will succumb it may take years to ensure that reinfection cannot occur and that the strain of cancer is extinct.</div>

The following shots were taken in the Australian Alps at the waning of the snow season.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Despite El Nino picking up, an event that causes drier periods in Australia generally, the snow falls weren't too bad.</div>

<br />
Autumn is well underway with wet cold weather driven by powerful east coast lows giving snow above 1500m. Here hasn't been so bad with most of the extreme weather being coastal.</div>

A shift in lighting has occurred with short spectacular evenings followed by crisp nights.</div>

Below is a case moth caterpillar.</div>

Back in <a href="http://www.focusonnature.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/finds-while-doing-little-gardening.html" target="_blank">October</a> I found a case moth caterpillar at the start of a late spring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both were advanced specimens with cases measuring around 20cm in length.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both found at the opposing boundaries of winter.</div>

With not much in the way of fresh greens left and a cold winter on the way these caterpillars have a few months before warmer weather affords new growth. They seem to have a number of suitable plant species producing leaves to eat. This may allow winter feeding though all food plants observed so far have been deciduous. </div>

Here is a small vid for those who keep a wonder of nature in their hearts despite a busy world.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I've been waiting for an Autumn storm for a while that would put on a bit of a show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This wasn't what I've been waiting for though it wasn't too bad for a start.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was taken in the South West of NSW at Tumut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather has been wet Australia wide lately with cyclone Ita making news tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My thoughts go out to those in its path and stay safe guys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things are cooling down with a cold wet winter becoming a distinct possibility.</div>

Little did I know the fun we were in for over summer back in late October at the time of my last post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With over 2 months of searing heat consistently reaching the mid 40's in the Celsius scale and some nights still 30 Celsius at midnight the skies were free of birds and creatures great and small retreated to whatever haven they could find from the relentless temperatures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was within this oven like environment I found myself and awaited for more than the industrious ants and my dying garden to shoot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Autumn has brought some relief and some needed rain ( I think we had about 10 mm total over summer)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I am back at it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Considering how rare the following scene has been I shall start with this. Storm clouds bringing much needed rain and helping bring back life to all.</div>

The frosts have stopped at last and so a little gardening was planned this afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two interesting creatures were found in the process of cleaning up for planting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is a Case Moth ( pictured below).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This little guy is of the family Clania Lewinni - the stick case moth an, although it favours gum leaves was found munching happily of a Raspberry bush.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below is an arachnid ( and one of my favorites)</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a Wolf Spider and this is crowded commuting taken to the max.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The mother will carry these spiderlings on her back and is most protective of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was difficult getting this shot as she was very camera shy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The weather continues to warm with storm chasing the flavour of the month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully I will have some good lightning shots posted soon. </div>

Well I never intended to have such a lengthy hiatus in posting, though I'm back with some macros in time for Spring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A burst of hot weather and a little rain has seen an explosion of colour and the insects haven't been to far behind. A great time for a few macros.</div>

The following are shots from my recent trip to the "Sugar Pine Walk" just out of Tumbarumba in Laurel Hill. These pines have been let go wild and give an idea how grand nature can get if we give it enough time to reach its potential. While not exactly redwoods, an experience nonetheless.</div>

A very cagey and private creature, I have not yet been able to locate the nest.</div>

As it returns to the same position continuously to collect mud I will attempt a video of this soon.</div>

Its been a great year for photography and the huge storms that lashed NSW Australia on Xmas eve were no exception. Here is an animation of the build up and light show that has been compiled from the sequential shots taken that day.</div>
<div>
Have a great New Year and see you for more in 2013. </div>

A burst of hot days has seen an explosion of insect life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having moved to a new area I am presented with many new creatures to photograph.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a small collection of some of my most recent macro shots.</div>

With the new macro configuration giving good DOF and colour rendition/ sharpness the fun is just beginning</div>

We still haven't had a good lightning storm here, though with all the warm weather it is only a matter of time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those storm chases amongst you keep an eye out.</div>

It is the first time I have mobile blogged though. Here are a few shots of my new stomping ground that promises a new range of nature to capture from massive storms to the smallest of creatures. I hope you have enjoyed the last six years. There's much more to come. </p>

Things are warming up, though Winter hasn't totally given up its grasp with the occasional return to quite cold weather. The thunder storms have begun rolling in though, a sure sign that change is in the air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is quite a bit of pollen in that air too. Below a shot of a peach orchard in flower with rolling hills on a misty morning.</div>

Although Spring is still a few days away nature has already made her mind up with a number of great days full of the potential that can be felt as Winter ends. Just ask those who suffer hay fever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To acknowledge the coming of Spring here are a few blossom shots.</div>

With the coming of Spring is the arrival of some of this areas best thunder storms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be out chasing this year with some new territory to shoot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's another shot with Spring colours backdropped with ominous thunder clouds.

Most leaves have already fallen, with this striking display of yellow being Autumn's last hurrah.<br />

Over the last few years there have been quite a few interesting conjunctions alignments and such,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
though the transit of Venus today was quite a bonus to see in ones lifetime. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not due again for quite a while, it was great that the clouds parted long enough to get</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a few shots of an event so tied to Australian History.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Captain Cook was sent south, partly, to witness such an event so as to gain vital triangulations</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that, when compared with those taken across the globe, would help calculate the distance of Venus</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the sun and, therefore, help in calculations for the orbits of other planets, the Earth included.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here's my shot of the event.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With a partial eclipse due soon, the sky is keeping me busy as the creatures of the Earth slumber in Winter's grip, and with a new macro outfit constructed you can expect some real close-ups this Spring of a more terrestrial nature.</div>

With winter fast approaching trees are losing their leaves and, with a move to a more highland environment, I am able to enjoy the seasons that such an inland elevation affords.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below are a couple of pictures that illustrate the colour on display.</div>

Insects are few, though this little Leaf Spider must have thought there were a few around and gave me a chance to test out my new macro lens a little early.</div>
