29.09.18 - Warren Hills

Dicyrtomina saundersi


A quick trip to Warren Hills, my first visit since the reserve was closed due to a firs earlier in the summer. Thankfully, the regeneration is proceeding well, although it has undoubtedly been held back by the low rainfall. I only sampled from the heather which was pretty dry but turned up plentiful Entomobrya nicoleti and E. nivalis, together with a couple of Dicyrtomina saundersi. The photo shows the characteristic change at the joint of sections 2 and 3 of the antennae in this species.
