On 14 August 2001, I visited Kosierskraal Game Farm, southwest of Bredasdorp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bredasdorp) in Western Cape province, South Africa.
The location is on the Agulhas Plain, tending towards the lower slopes of Soetmuisberg (https://mapcarta.com/19068450 and

In the Philippines, only eleven species have been identified, and there are still plenty of taxonomically-unclassified tarantulas waiting to be described.
Here is the list of all the species from the Philippines, with their common names and distribution:
1.) Ornithoctoninae Pocock, 1895
Seven species, Garra joshuai, Garra kalakadensis, Haludaria kannikattiensis, Hypselobarbus tamiraparaniei Mesonemachilus tambraparniensis, Neolissochilus tamiraparaniensis, and Dawkinsia tambraparniei are strictly endemic to this protected area in Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve
Bhavania annandelei is endemic to Agasthiyarmalai

In previous Posts, I have pointed out that fynbos (South Africa), although ostensibly the ecological counterpart of kwongan (Australia), is considerably more fertile.
One of the problems with intercontinental comparisons of this kind is that the biotas are so different that it is hard to disentangle phylogenetic constraints from ecological adaptations.

Aboriginal community contributors are finalising their draft Healthy Country Plan to secure and enhance custodianship of Glossy Black-cockatoos into the future. Join them for an info session to hear their findings and learn more.
Gloria hasn't come out yet, but today marks one month since I discovered these caterpillars, so I'm making a post to celebrate, sorta, and also update that everything still appears to be in order.
Welcome to the Bryophyte Flora of Simcoe-Muskoka Project. I started working on this project 1 year ago and have started to compile a list of over 115 species of mosses and liverworts found in this region. The size of the region makes it challenging to visit every habitat, but many pairs of eyes looking for friendly neighbourhood bryophytes can speed up the completion of this project significantly. Below is a list of resources (most of which are free!) to help you get started or to contin...
Damselflies are smaller, slimmer versions of Dragonflies. You can tell them apart as at rest Damselfies' wings are closed up alongside their body whereas a Dragonfly sticks its wings out like an aeroplane.
Azure Damselflies are quite common near ponds and watercourses where their presence is quite a good sign of water quality.. There are actually 7 species of small blue damselflies in the UK and telling them apart is a bit tricky. The Azure Damselfly has a U shaped black ban...
On Sunday, May 28, 2023 I ran my USGS Breeding Bird Survey route starting in Walburg, TX and running east along 25 miles of back roads with 50 survey points northeast of Austin and going south of Granger Lake. Here's an overview of the route, which was first run in 1980:
На сегодня: 104 054 НАБЛЮДЕНИЙ, 2 087 ВИДОВ, 1 215 ЭКСПЕРТОВ, 1 079 НАБЛЮДАТЕЛЕЙ.
Frank Lake is an Important Bird Area (IBA) south of Calgary.
Alberta Wilderness Association's outdoor education program - Adventures for Wilderness (A4W) led a public hike on Saturday, May 27. Board Director, Chris Saunders, coordinated the event and helped teach basic birding skills.
The confirmed sightings are listed below:

I surveyed the north segment from 9:15 to 11 am. The weather was nice, in the lower 60s with light winds.
I found zero newts.
There were 33 cars, 13 trucks, 1 pedestrian, and 5 bicyclists.
Other roadkill was limited to darkling beetles.

Happy Memorial Day, iNaturalists, and welcome back to the New England Trail Nature Watch project!
I am Luis Berrizbeitia, your 2023 New England Trail SIP intern coming to you in partnership with the National Park Service (NPS) and Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). I am a natural resources conservation major at UMass Amherst, with a passion for understanding ecological processes through space and time. I am an avid canoeist, hiker, and greenwood worker, and cannot wait to get this...
We welcome Matt McGreary to the B-Team! Matt is a student at Colgate University who will be helping us out in getting the B-Team up and running this spring.
I've been out and about the last few mornings, chasing birds, and noticing that other than autumn olive and Asian honeysuckles, there really isn't an awful lot blooming right now. It's a regular food desert out there for our native bees. This should be of concern to everyone!
Add to this that the deer have wreaked ...
Per venire incontro alle richieste di alcuni partecipanti abbiamo realizzato una cartina su Maps per meglio visualizzare i confini della Città Metropolitana di Milano e dei comuni di appartenenza.
Inoltre sono stati evidenziati i comuni che nel 2022 hanno avuto almeno una osservazione di farfalle o libelle, così da permettere ai più volenterosi di esplorare i luoghi non ancora indagati.
To my surprise cactus expert Wolfgangb identified an Echinocereus reichenbachii cactus I observed at Lubbock Lake Landmark on May 27 as a subspecies I had not known about, White Lace Cactus of Texas, https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/164055979.
The variety seems to be characterized by a longer and denser thicket of white spines on the crown of the plant. Be on the lookout for these...

CREW Targets of South Africa endemic plants with no wild observations on iNat:
With 54 days left to the start of this project, today is Memorial Day and I have another day to make refinements to my strategy. I believe I have the framework for my own exploration planned out pretty well. Flying in, the car rental, lodging, food, gear, sleep, locations, I feel like the preparation and schedule I have done thus far should lead to success. Success will be surpassing 100 animal species and getting near the goal of 150. Other participates? Sure, the more the merrier,...
When exhaustive surveys in known and/or expected habitats at appropriate times throughout a species' historic range fail to record an individual, the species is presumed to be extinct. To be declared extinct, a species must have no reasonable doubt that its last individual has died. The species that are presumed to be extinct and those that are listed as extinct are listed below. As stated in each species' rationale below, recommendations were made for each species to be thoroughly searc...

To be able to identify the Ipomoea members, there is a "trick", the important character is the sepals , the sepals are like fingerprints, and they are never repeated in any species of the genus in question.
On the other hand, many people believe that by observing the leaves or the color of the corollas, the species can be identified, but it is a mistake, there is no doubt that they help, but little, sometimes they complement, but being very vari...
