Ground beetle found walking in dunes at Oreti Beach. Also two others seen out on the beach.
Two katipo hanging about in a Spinifex plant with a largish tunnelweb, but no tunnelweb spider. This is one of the few species of spider katipo will prey upon, I usually see strong hints several times per year. Other spiders also prey upon Porrhothele antipodiana, eg. false katipo.
A friend brought this to me wondering what sort of weta it is the inaturalist suggestion was cave weta
Only one seen in high alpine rocky area
Seen on a black beech tree in Richmond forest Park (Pelorus River). A bit bigger than a thumb nail.
