What bugs do you have in your backyard?

🐞🔍 Calling all bug detectives! Bugs in My Backyard Week is back, this 16–22 November! 🎉

For one week this November, we’re asking YOU to join Australia’s biggest bug hunt by exploring your backyard or local park, snapping a photo of any bugs you see, and uploading them to the Bugs in my Backyard 2026 project on the iNaturalist app.

Every photo helps scientists build a springtime snapshot of Australia’s bugs, and spot any sneaky invaders that don’t belong here. 🚫🐜

It’s completely free to take part, fun for all ages, and helps protect our amazing native wildlife. All you need is your phone and a sense of curiosity! Find out more and join Australia’s biggest bug hunt at the link in the comments.

🐌 What is Bug Hunt? Bug Hunt is a national citizen science program helping to understand the health of Australia’s native invertebrates, and the threat of invasives. It’s run by Invasive Species Council and Invertebrates Australia Australia, and is proudly supported by Australian Geographic.

Because whether it’s 🪲 beetles with shiny armour, 🕷️spiders spinning silky silver webs, or 🐜 ants setting up secret underground nests, there’s a whole tiny world of bugs in your backyard just waiting to be discovered. Remember, look with your eyes and snap with your camera. Bugs are best left where you found them 💚
