Bug Blitz had a great time visiting Leongatha Primary over the last few weeks. The students found around 40 different species of arthropods in a small vegetated area in the schoolgrounds, including the two species of Flower spiders. These education events were in partnership with South Gippsland Landcare Network. West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority

After living in Maffra West Upper for 30years, I have never sighted a living dingo before... until now. I watched two orphaned dingo pups over a few days last week. They were playful but vulnerable without their mother. Dingo numbers have risen in the area in recent times. To rewild our landscapes, dingoes are an apex predator needing inclusion. To some farmers, dingoes are a voracious predator of stock. One farmer I met had 400 sheep killed over a month, by a single dingo. We have to keep searching for strategies to promote conservation of alpine dingoes, without jeopardizing agriculture.

In 2019, artist Ralph Eberlein worked with students from Sale to produce seven panels for the Children's Maze in the Sale Botanic Gardens. The panel pictured represents the cycle of life. We are sad to hear that Ralph passed away this week. It was a great privilege to have shared some time with Ralph and he did a magnificent job - the panels were a true collaboration between students and the artist. Vale Ralph Eberlein.

Gumnuts Early Learning Centre provides great nature kinder programs and has been doing so for over a decade. The facilitators are awesome and Bug Blitz always has fun visiting the nature kinder programs. I love the spontaneity and freedom of expression of the children's crazy creatures.

The kids from Loch Sport PS visited the Heart Morass Restoration Project this week. The children could hear the whistling kites calling as they glided over the wetlands looking for prey. It was a dull morning and I had to lighten the photo to show this regal bird. We spotted 23 different species of birds on our minibus tour. At one stage we saw a family of five whistling kites roosting together at the top of a redgum. Kites seem to be doing well at The Heart Morass.

Bug Blitz visited Seaspray with Loch Sport PS. After checking bait traps the kids examined a sample of invertebrates found in Merriman's Creek. Walking along the 90mile beach is invigorating and what better way to relax than making some beautiful artworks on the sand. Fish, crabs, amphipods, shellfish, sponges and seaweed were found. Not too mention the BirdLife. The Loch Sport PS Bug Blitz nature school is brilliant! Loch Sport Notice Board Seaspray, Victoria, Australia

In 2021, Erin Nowak and I (Bug Blitz) were lucky enough to make a movie for the Coastcare Summer by the Sea program. We were moving into COVID lockdowns at the time so we shared our family workshop via a movie. Bug Blitz had been doing this workshop for a few years as part of Coastcare Victoria. Mitchell Johnson did a great capturing the footage and Erin and I had a lot of joy working on this Project.

We found this spectacular jumping spider at Flooding Creek in March with students from Gippsland Grammar. It's probably from the genus Opisthoncus, which are commonly referred to as garden jumping spiders. The genus is not well described and I think this species is probably not described a yet. What a beauty! Wellington Shire Council Love Our Lakes Australian Citizen Science Association

Idaea pseliota, commonly known as the Doily wave moth, is an apt name for this species as it looks like a lace doily. A student found this moth at Flooding Creek on the third of March 2026 during a Bug Blitz workshop. It is the first Gippsland record on iNaturalist for this species.
