Imagine: In our crazy world of dangerous politics exist people who work hard for 10 years to save a nearly unknown species of #snails of an Island. Because they care!

New video out (a pinch late because today got busy...), and one of the most significant from last year!
Days 3 and 4 of the August Arizona trip started with a slog, an all-day hike with a handful of lizards but nothing else much to show for it, especially when some unpredicted major rains shut the night down. But the next day...rare birds, a particularly striking specimen of a tiger rattlesnake, and perhaps one of the biggest finds of the year hands-down snake-wise!
Find the video here: https://youtu.be/84g4hArD-FY

One of the recent iNaturalist highlights from Banks Peninsula is this little moth, that Mel Whiting photographed in the Port Hills above Taylor’s Mistake at the end of May. It was photographed visiting a yellow flower of the native oxalis, *Oxalis exilis*. They weren’t sure what it was and uploaded it to iNat to find out.

Thanks to the identifications and comments by NZ moth experts Neville Hudson and Robert Hoare, it turns out to be a rare, and still undescribed, endemic NZ moth species, currently only known as *Scythris* “stripe”.

Robert commented “Yes, amazing discovery! I think maybe only the 4th ever seen.”

Two of those four observations were made on #iNaturalist, the other being a moth I found in the Port Hills above near the Sign of the Kiwi back in May 2022.

Every observation counts, especially for rarely seen species like these species that we know so little about.

The Ili Pika: The Teddy Bear of the Mountains

Meet the Ili Pika, one of the rarest and most adorable creatures on Earth, often dubbed the "magic rabbit" for its teddy bear-like appearance.
Native to the mountains of China, this small, elusive mammal was rediscovered after 20 years of being unseen.
With its fluffy coat and large ears, it’s no wonder this cute critter has captured the hearts of many.
