Common and beautiful, Tortoise Beetles can be found on creeping vines in coastal areas, some have metallic colours. They have interesting behaviour as larvae, where they cover themselves with their own faeces and old moults as a form of protection. This is called a faecal shield.

I submitted a fellowship application today, and I’m REALLY proud, regardless of the outcome. I’m endlessly thankful to my amazing friends/colleagues who provide so much support. I’m still in this game because you make all this *gestures to everything* worth it

Obligatory published paper tweet! This ones not that obligatory as I'm really proud of this one. Braxton Jones, matthew bulbert and I throw out some fun and freaky hypotheses about crazy stick insect eggs! I hope this leads so some great new research - link.springer.com/article/10.100…

On the #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience I took part in assessing the conservation status of the skyhoppers (Kosciuscola) of the #austalps for the IUCN Red List. Most of the 14 species threatened. We have work to do. #wildoz #ozinsects IUCNgrasshopperSG
