Watched this huge dragonfly emerge overnight, revisiting a couple of times.

Rhyothemis resplendens

Found in camp at Binna Burra. ID courtesy of myrmecologist Chris Burwell at the Queensland Museum.

Found this image from years ago. I was told any information on this species helps as it is poorly understood. Very impressive moth!

Brachydiplax denticauda

After seeing an ovipositing female we realised what the egg batches of Northern Riffle Darner look like. Several batches of eggs just under or just above the water line in the same general area.

Green-striped Darner, female, found within two metres of Davies Creek moving between roosts in high foliage.

Nest present on border of 7th Brigade and Marchant Park where earth moving was taking place. Site supervisor said pest controller visits monthly.

Single specimen of Damselfly found in shade along rainforest stream

Male

Male, several about patrolling the creek, landing infrequently.

First time I've found any on our property. Growing on the side of an old stump.

spores = ~ 33 x 14 um
asci = 280-300 x 18-20 um
melzer's reagent = spores brown slightly, and some to some internal bits to the asci
