🌿 This Biodiversity Month we’re spotlighting researchers protecting nature. Meet @julesfarquhar.bsky.social who studies venomous snakes to help people coexist safely. He hopes curiosity will inspire more of us to see snakes as fascinating, not frightening. 🐍 Seen one lately?

Australia is home to approx 24,000 species of native plants 🌿

This #BiodiversityMonth, we’re celebrating the beauty and diversity of native flora — from orchids to mistletoes.

Our guide books are your companions for exploring them: www.publish.csiro.au/PlantsAndFun...
The orchid Prasophyllum candidum, photographed by Lachlan Copeland, from the book Guide to Native Orchids of NSW and ACT. The flowers are arranged in an alternating pattern along a straight, vertical stem. The flowers are a gentle pink colour with yellow centres and rust-coloured outer petals. The mistletoe Amyema linophlla, photographed by Kevin Thiele, from the book Mistletoes of Western Australia. The plant has long pendent like protrusions covered in a soft grey-green fuzz. The seeds of the Macaranga tanarius, photographed Hugh Nicholson, from the book Australian Rainforest Seeds. The seeds are dark, almost black, with light green spikey exteriors protecting them. Blossoms from the wattle Acacia genistifolia, photographed by Alan Gibb, from the book Wattles of Victoria and Tasmania. The flowers have white filaments with yellow anther, and long spear-like green phyllodes growing from the stem.

A tiny jumping spider sits on a leaf. There is metallic sheen to the hairs covering its abdomen, shifting from purple and blue to red and then a brilliant gold. The caption reads 'Simaethula sp. - Undescribed jumping spider 'Goldenbum'. Photo by Robert Whyte, from A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia. A dragonfly rests on vegetation. It's body is orange-brown with black banding along the tail, orange highlights in its translucent wings, and yellow rings around its eyes. The caption reads 'Hesperocordulia berthoudi - Orange Streamcruiser'. Photo by Fons Peels, from The Complete Field Guide to Dragonflies of Australia. A snail travels along a plank of wood. It's skin is a very dark grey, and the shell on it's back is a rich brown with delicate striations. The caption reads 'Limesta sheridani - Wet Tropics Carnivorous Snail'. Photo by John Stanisic, from A Guide to Land Snails of Australia. A mosquito rests on a pink flower petal. It has very fluffy antennae and its body has a golden tint, with white bands around each leg. The caption reads 'Toxorhynchites speciosus'.

Hi @csiropublishing.bsky.social . Does anyone produce posters on specific types of plants, animals, etc anymore? Useful for groups like #Landcare for whom #BiodiversityMonth is a celebration of year-round effort.
