Found this guy hiding under an outdoor pot. Only a small scorpion and not often seen in the Adelaide Hills but living beneath stones and leaf litter.

Backyard Encounters #1
This is happening in our backyards… whether we see it or not.
A praying mantis feeds on a European honeybee,
while a native bee stays close by.
It’s confronting—but this is nature.
Every garden holds a hidden world of predators, pollinators and survival.
Would this surprise you if it happened in your backyard?

Every day, habitat is disappearing. But something powerful is happening too. People are bringing it back, one backyard at a time.
By adding simple elements like water, shelter and native plants, you can create a space where birds, insects, frogs and lizards don’t just visit… they live.
It’s not about having a perfect garden.
It’s about creating a living one.
🌿 A shallow water dish can save a bird on a hot day
🌿 A pile of sticks can shelter a skink
🌿 Native plants can feed an entire ecosystem
Small changes. Real impact.
If you’ve ever wanted to help wildlife but didn’t know where to start, this is it.
👉 We’re building a movement of backyards that give back to nature.

Follow along and start creating your own wild backyard.

It started with a simple bowl of water.
Then these New Holland honeyeater arrived, not just to drink but to bathe, play and cool off.
In a warming climate, access to safe, shallow water can make a real difference for small birds.
💧 Change the water daily
🌿 Add a rock or stick for perching
🐦 Place it near cover
Small actions. Real impact.
SHARE this to someone who would enjoy the activity just like we did.

You don’t need a science degree.
Or a lab coat.
If you’ve ever photographed wildlife
and uploaded it to iNaturalist…
You’ve already participated in citizen science.
Citizen science is how everyday Australians
help monitor biodiversity.
Backyards matter.
Bush blocks matter.
Local reserves matter.
But here’s what most people don’t know…
For your photo to be scientifically useful,
it needs a size reference.
That’s why we designed the Citizen Science Photography Card.
It fits in your pocket.
It gives instant scale.
It improves identification accuracy.
Small tool.
Big impact.
Join the movement of everyday people
helping protect habitat.
Discover how it works.

Every time you photograph a frog…
A bee…
A lizard…
You could be contributing to real scientific data.
That’s called citizen science.
It’s when everyday people help scientists track species, habitats and environmental change.
But here’s the problem…
Most wildlife photos can’t be properly verified.
Because they’re missing scale.
Scientists need to know how big something is.
That’s why we created the Habitat for Nature
Citizen Science Photography Card.
Place it beside your subject.
Photograph.
Upload.
Now your photo isn’t just beautiful —
It’s usable data.
Help turn everyday wildlife sightings
into real conservation impact.
Learn how your photos can make a difference.

A Superb Fairy-wren foraging through the leaf litter — exactly as it has for thousands of years.
These small lives depend on intact understorey and protected bushland.
Protect habitat. Protect moments like this.
Please share this little beauty.

Could anyone positively ID this insect?
It is approx. 2.5-3 cm long and 3-4 cm from wing tip to wing tip.
The wavy line is shadow from the corrugated iron roof above it.

Thanks in advance
