This is the Outramps CREW 100,000 obs and we celebrated it with Tilla who is the Head of the Threatened Plants Programme and the CREW Programme. It represents our involvement with plant monitoring from 1992 to 2021. It has been a joyous ride. So thank you all for so many years of fun, laughs and learning. Keep going!

A good fit to Common Metallic Longhorn, so I chose that genus, but those back legs look different.

A 'mantis-fly' - tiny creature about 1.5cm long. Absolutely darling cute. Rescued from a swimming pool, posed on a sweet-pea.

We stumbled across this crazy battle under a displaced rock. The battle was already in full swing. The ants seemed to be coming out of and disappearing into one part of the tunnel system in close proximity to the termite 'mass'. This major maybe walked in too deep, but managed to struggle out of the mass with a termite attached to every limb and antenna. Give it up for the little guys!
