Flinders Island cave-slater Echinodillo cavaticus. The world has only two known species of the very distinctive Echinodillo cave-slaters. One is found on the Marquesas Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This other species is known only from a small cave in southern Flinders Island, where its entire global range is measurable in square metres. We found this one during our Bush Blitz on Flinders Island in March 2014.

Male Flinders Island cave-cricket Parvotettix rangaensis. This small flightless cricket was named in 1970 after the limestone cave in a gulley in the south of Flinders Island where it was discovered. During our Bush Blitz on Flinders Island in March 2014, it was good to be able to confirm the species' continued presence here after a break of many decades.

furryfeetΠεριγραφή
This weevil was observed at around 1000m on the slopes of Mount Ann in South West Tasmania. It has been identified by those at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery as likely to be an undescribed genus of Aterpini, or possibly in the genus Aoplocnemis. Further comments include "This is most likely an extremely rare genus and species due to how little representation it has in collections, including those at TMAG, and this photo is almost certainly the first Live Photo of it."

Found this snail (who looked like it was on its side, not upright like a garden snail). Very dark snail itself. When turned over the shell was like a funnel - only way I can describe it, it wasn’t flat.
Found in a wet Ferny creek bed on concrete drainage culvert

~5mm long. While it did occasionally have it's snout protruding, as soon as I turned the light on, or it saw motion, it tucked it up, so couldn't get a shot of it.
Does have similarities to Elaeagna squamibunda
