Hello Everyone,
I am very excited to see the first Christmas beetle sightings of the year coming in! We're hoping to expand the project this year, so please spread the word. We will also be hosting a series of webinars -stay tuned!
Happy beetle watching!

I thought I would mention that I have seen quite a few Anoplognathus porosus in SEQ in the last two weeks.
Hello Tanya, Heard a part of a report on the radio so hoping this the right place to post.
Just moved to North Ryde NSW 2113 near Shrimptons creek. Over the past two weeks we see up to 10 a night. They'll repeatedly fly into the windows and we often see them in the morning on the floor outside.
Thanks and all the best,
M
@gregtasney Wow, that's great- we are really keen on observations from in and around urban areas.
Thanks Tanya. I do run moth traps at home in suburbia and local Brisbane bushland reserves.
Anecdotally I am seeing a relationship with dry sclerophyll ecosystem and A.pallidicollis. I have seen it feeding on Eucalyptus microcorys. But, the two A.concolor I have found recently were both in sub tropical rainforest.
