Glowing and beautiful in the warm sunlight, these flowers belong to an insideous green creeping plague. Don’t turn your back, you’ll feel their spines lodge…

This is a Northern long-eared bat, they are tiny but like all bats voracious consumers of invertebrate life! Good thing with their appetites they aren’t the size of elephants! LOL

The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, is one of North America’s most devastating forest pests. The species originally evolved in Europe and Asia and has existed there for thousands of years. In either 1868 or 1869, the gypsy moth was accidentally introduced near Boston, MA by E. Leopold Trouvelot. About 10 years after this introduction, the first outbreaks began in Trouvelot’s neighborhood and in 1890 the State and Federal Government began their attempts to eradicate the gypsy moth. These attempts ultimately failed and since that time, the range of gypsy moth has continued to spread. Every year, isolated populations are discovered beyond the contiguous range of the gypsy moth but these populations are eradicated or they disappear without intervention. It is inevitable that gypsy moth will continue to expand its range in the future.

Believe it or not, these are all the the same species of Ladybird. They are the notoriously invasive Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia Axyridis, the most invasive ladybird on earth. It is also known as the Multicoloured Asian Ladybird and the Halloween Ladybird. It has a very variable appearance, which can make it difficult to tell apart from our native ladybirds. The harlequin ladybird was introduced to North America in 1988, where it is now the most widespread ladybird species on the continent. It has already invaded much of northwestern Europe, and arrived in Britain in the summer of 2004. I photographed all these variants on my runner bean plants, in South London, where fortunately for the ladybirds, but not for me, there is a large supply of black aphids.

Taken at Lal Lal Victoria Australia / These ants have bitten me more than once and landed me in casualty more than once as well, i am one of those with allergies to them. / I caught this one dragging a huge blow flow across our decking, there strength matches their bite…the bite burns like blazes and the area swells to the extent that if it bit your toe, you dont know what your foot looks like anymore…and they hurt like nothing else. / they have killed people. Jumping jack, bull ants and jumping ants are members of the Myrmecia genus – a primitive group of ants found only in Australia and New Calendonia. There are 89 species within this group. Professor Simon Brown from the Australian Ant Venom Allergy Study (AAVAS) says the three main species of ants that cause anaphylactic reactions in Australia are: Jack jumper, hopper ant, jumping jack – M. pilosula species complex (pictured left) – There are at least five different species located in Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, ACT, NSW (from the Snowy Mountains up to Armidale in northern NSW) and Western Australia. This group is responsible for about 90 per cent of anaphylaxis in Australia, particularly in Tasmania. Researchers from the AAVAS have developed a highly effective desensitisation treatment for people allergic to the M. pilosula species found in Tasmania. Common bull ant – there are at least four to five different species including M. forficata (found in Tasmania, Victoria, NSW), M. gratiosa (Perth WA) and M. pyriformis (found in Victoria, South Australia and NSW). Jumping ant – M. nigrocincta – can be found in SE Queensland and northern NSW. There are also at least two other species of jumper ants known to cause anaphylaxis in Western Australia, including M. ludlowi. / Other types of ants that can cause an anaphylactic reaction include greenhead ants – Rhytidoponera metallica – and the imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, both found in Queensland. taken from the internet Featured in Rural around the globe group March 09. / Featured in Happy Haven March 09

Banded (Northern) Brown Tree Snake. I love the “gecko” type eyes on these snakes, but they are not for loving pets. these can get very aggressive with several strikes to a victim if they feel threatened. They are a venomous snake, however their venom fangs are set in the back of the mouth, so it takes a rather large one to inject venom into a human. This species was introduced to Guam in WWII, and since had multiplied into huge numbers, seriously threatening the bird fauna there. This is one of the only reptile species that became an introduced pest anywhere in the world. Canon 50D, 85mm. Sydney Wildlife World, Darling Harbour. Available Large! :)

Nikon Coolpix P80 Beautiful in both looks and perfume, the Formosan Lily has become quite a weed pest in native bushland. The following is from “Burke’s Backyard”. Common name: Taiwan lily, Formosa lily Botanic name: Lilium formosanum / The species name formosanum is Latin, meaning ‘from Formosa’. The island of Formosa is now Taiwan. Description: A bulbous plant with upright, straight, flowering stems 1-1.8m (up to 6’) tall in summer. Clusters of 1-3 lightly scented, trumpet-shaped flowers are borne at the top of each stem. The flowers are white with a pale yellow throat, and some have pink staining on the outside of the petals or when in the bud. Problem areas: This plant has escaped from gardens and naturalised in southeast Australia from Queensland to Victoria and also on Lord Howe Island. It is usually found along roadside verges, drainage ditches, on wasteland and in bushland. Reasons for success: The Taiwan lily grows from seed, bulbs and fleshy leaves (called bulb scales). The plant grows from seed to flowering stage in around 6-9 months (most lilies take two years from seed until flowering). Each flower produces hundreds of seeds. As the seeds mature, the seed pods are held upright and open slowly. Seeds are released over a 4-8 week period to take advantage of good conditions. Seeds are light and travel long distances on the wind. Even a single plant dumped in bushland can become the nucleus of a new weed infestation.
