These have been on my hit list to see and record for a while now. Every chance I get close they fly away before the camera is out.. but not today!!! Stretching the lens abit. Collective noun for rooks is apparently a building, I counted 24 in the building.

This is third one that I have found outside one of our hives. This one was in Burnside and the other sitings were in Lincoln. It looks and sounds like a bee and had been clearly Ina fight with guard bees outside the hive which suggests it is wanting food. I would like to know what it is. Shiny round abdomen, wing, buzzed when I moved it.

Specimen collected by @doviende
Now in the RBCM collection
Original record here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/206356244
Species ID confirmed with epigynum.
This is a first BC and Canadian record of this spider documented by a specimen. Nice work on noticing that it was different from our much more common Larinioides.

The outside of our brick home is a popular spot for praying mantis eggs. Unfortunately during a previous witnessed hatching, the young were eaten by the resident jumping spiders.

Maybe? It was trying to escape the tide on the beach

Lepidoptera survey of Te Ahu Patiki / Mt Herbert. Day-flying moths searched for around the top in tussock grassland, damp areas, and rocky bluffs. Night work done on forest fragments on the northern slopes between My Herbert and Mt Bradley. Forest fragments consisted of kowhai, totara, narrow-leaved lacebark, ribbonwood, amongst others. A diverse range of vines and lots of tree nettle (Urtica ferox) - a wonderful plant that supports many moth species - oh, and the red admiral. A stunning diversity of Lepidoptera and would love to return. Many thanks to Te Ahu Pātiki Charitable Trust.

Looks like D facetus to me but I could be wrong given only observations are in Northland.

Lots of different birds here. In my other observations, we've identified fantails, bellbirds and starlings. If you can hear anything else, please ID that, and if you can hear more than one extra species, could you mention what you can hear in the comments and I'll upload another observation for it?

The original mission of observing the garden at night was to see moths. This one threw itself violently at the garden shed where the torchlight fell.

Mature kowhai, totara, ribbonwood, narrow-leaved lacebark, matai etc. Also, an abundance of Coprosma, Corokia, Streblus and Urtica amongst a myriad of other native trees, shrubs, and vines.

Small neon blue spider similar to a jumping spider. Never seen one this vibrant before, unsure on species or if it’s introduced/native. Any help is greatly appreciated

Heard a rustling in the leaves on the pole of the deck and took a look and found this little one. I think a gecko, but would love to know what type.

Too much pig rooting there. Slugs feasting! Pig rooting among bulbinella roots.
