BugWise Backchat
Help us be Bugwise, report findings, ask questions and share stories.
Up Close and Spineless
The Australian Museum holds an annual photographic competition called Up Close & Spineless to raise awareness of the wonderful world of invertebrates. The winning, highly commended and runner-up entries have been selected for 2011.
It's getting warmer
As the weather gets warmer it is a great opportunity to start looking at the invertebrates in your local area.

Pea flowers at the Field of Mars
A walk around the Field of Mars Environment Education Centre with Steve Papp and Pat Spiers last week revealed a plethora of native flowers of many colours and shapes, including pea flowers - all perfect for a field study of pollinators.
Science Week is coming up
Need some ideas for your Science Week project? Interested in spiders and insects? The diversity of spiders and insects around your home and school can be an indicator of the biodiversity around you.
Colder, wetter weather and BugWise
The onset of wetter, colder weather has made for a great opportunity to look at how climate influences our invertebrate biodiversity!
BugWise and new technologies
How can BugWise take advantage of all the great new technology available today? Would BugWise on a smart phone application be useful? or a Twitter account to Tweet your results? We are looking for new ways to make BugWise accessible and exciting.
Web2spider at Ermington Public School
Despite the cold weather the students found a number of golden orbs, leaf-curl spider, black house spiders (Badumna spp), Araneus species and others.
Bugwise for Schools - a new perspective
