Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today:

"...the Australian Institute of Marine Science said one area around Cooktown and Lizard Island had lost more than a third of its live hard coral – the biggest annual drop in 39 years of monitoring."

I missed that someone finally managed to find and photograph the rare punk rock ant Camponotus thadeus.
Known as the 'Sid Vicious of the insect world', ultra-rare ant with golden mohawk is captured on camera
The species is only known to live atop a handful of mountain peaks in remote Far North Queensland, including Mount Finnigan about 50km south of Cooktown.
