An ancient beetle lineage
Identified as Omma stanleyi on Bowerbird by Matthew Connors: "This family is considered one of the oldest beetle families alive today and consists of just two genera, one from Australia and the other from South America. This genus is incredibly old and was once much more widespread, with a fossilised representative extremely similar to this one (O. daxishanense) known from the Late Jurassic of China around 160 million years ago! An exciting find to say the least"

Trinity Beach, north end.
One tree. Terminalia muelleri is common here on the rocky coast. T. arenicola is absent here but common on sand on the edge of the beach all along this coast. I have now encountered four of these hybrid trees in different places on this coast.
The last photo shows T. arenicola [left], T. arenicola x muelleri [mid] and T. muelleri [right].
