Christmas Beetle sightings have been coming in since early October! There have particularly been lots of sightings of the Hairy Spotted Christmas Beetle (Anoplognathus velutinus) emerging along the East coast, especially in the Brisbane/Gold Coast area. We've had reports of several other species too, so keep an eye out for our early beetle friends and log them on iNaturalist for our Christmas Beetle Count!

This No Spray Spring, we would like people to write to their local Council and ask for changes that can make a real difference for pollinators and other insects and wildlife - such as reducing unnecessary broad-spectrum insecticide use and creating more pollinator-friendly spaces. Read more, and send your letter today!

Here's another planting idea this spring! The gorgeous Button Everlasting (Coronidium scorpioides), is indigenous to parts of Victoria, NSW, South Australia and Tasmania and will attract native bees, hoverflies, wasps, butterflies, beetles and flies as it flowers over late spring and summer.
Visit the Wheen Bee website for local species planting guides for around Australia. Find it via the link in bio.

A little love letter to the little lives that keep our world growing 🐝🦋🦟🪲🪰
Pollination is a team effort, and while there are plenty of incredible pollinators out there, invertebrates will always have a special place in my heart.
Bees, butterflies, wasps, flies, moths, beetles and yes, even mosquitoes!
Some get all the love, others have a bit of a reputation and plenty go about their business without anyone even noticing.
But they’re all part of the incredible diversity of life that keeps our ecosystems functioning.
And honestly, is there anything better than sitting in the garden watching all these little lives go about their business?
This Australian Pollinator Week, I’m encouraging you to slow down, find some flowers and see who’s visiting.
You might be surprised by just how many different pollinators are hanging out in your backyard.
Happy Australian Pollinator Week!

There's no better way to celebrate our Christmas Beetle Count project than with a win such as this. Thanks to your support, and that of the @australiangeographicsociety we're expanding our Christmas Beetle Count to include long-term monitoring. A vital step in helping to bring the sparkle back to our summers! Sign up to our newsletter to hear more about how we're helping Australia's iconic invertebrates.

The Australian Pollinator Week theme for 2026 is all around education, and inspiring the next generation, which plays a vital role in protecting Australia’s pollinators. School programs, community science projects and hands-on learning help spark curiosity, inspire action and empower young people to become future pollinator champions. This year, Australian Pollinator Week runs from 7 to 15 November and celebrates the remarkable diversity of Australia’s pollinators.
Here at IA, we encourage you to get curious about what's around you - sign up to Bug Hunt, plant for pollinators, or write to your local Council and ask them to reduce the use of unnecessary insecticides .
