Flora, fauna, anything - from the species rich cape to cape region of far south-south west-west Australia. Saturday, November 04, 2006. That bee-fly in the last post is quite a sizable animal. Big in fact. Probably about 20mm. This is one of the trigger plants that it would be fitted in size to pollinate, the Book Trigger Plant, Stylidium. This is quite a widespread species, being found over most of the south west. It's also found in other states. WA has 70% of Stylidium. So is a centre of Stylidium.

http://ecopond.blogspot.com/2007/11/busy-bees.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2007. Most people are familiar with the most common bee in Australia, the honey bee ( Apis mellifera. What they might not know is that this species was introduced to Australia from Europe in about 1822 to ensure that the new colony had plenty of honey.

Photographed in the Wolli Valley). Are one of the stingless bee...

Flora, fauna, anything - from the species rich cape to cape region of far south-south west-west Australia. Thursday, March 15, 2007. I'm such a bad blogger. Life has been a dreary preoccupation with matters mundane, mostly of the house hunting and moving house type. I am now the potted expert on all things pertaining to that dangerous and highly evolved beast, the real estate agent. 8211; you don’t want to be there more than two days. 8211; they couldn’t afford to build the roof. 8211; see above.

Flora, fauna, anything - from the species rich cape to cape region of far south-south west-west Australia. Monday, November 06, 2006. Just because it's trigger season, and I live in Stylidium central, here's one of my favourites that is flowering now. The Lovely Trigger Plant, Stylidium amoenum. Amoenus is Latin for charming or showy). In a genus of exquisite plants, you have to be special to earn a specific epithet like that. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Flora, fauna, anything - from the species rich cape to cape region of far south-south west-west Australia. Wednesday, December 06, 2006. I had an extremely entertaining dream about daylight saving , I didn't want to wake up. There were lots of anarchistic looking hippies milling about waving placards with "Save Daylight". "Daylight is Innocent". "Free Daylight, Jail Howard". WA has gone onto daylight saving time! In the extra hour of daylight. As long as they don't procreate, fine by me. Of course, maybe...

Flora, fauna, anything - from the species rich cape to cape region of far south-south west-west Australia. Thursday, March 15, 2007. The dots and dashes bees - Thyreus and Amegilla. At last - about time I was eponymous (can it be a verb? Mer, being hot and dry, has been a bumper one for Amegilla. Sp A trifle bizarre when you think that the 2005-6 summer was noted for their absence. Here in Margaret River in that summer I saw zilch, zero, nil. Sp Except for tomatoes (which Amegilla. And when the Amegilla.

Flora, fauna, anything - from the species rich cape to cape region of far south-south west-west Australia. Sunday, March 18, 2007. More dashes than dots, Megachile and her cuckoos. As I commented last time, the leafcutters. Are swarming to the Croweas. There isn't much competition. I admit, not much else flowering, but it is a joy to see a plant that only attracts native bees. Barely a feral to be seen. It's the nectar they're after, not much pollen gathering going on. This smaller flowered Crowea. Your ...
