Itinerary
- Let's Go Buggin (Night Tour)
- Time: 19:00
- Tour stops and highlights: We commence our walk of discovery immediately after our briefing at the meeting point. Depending on the season I will adapt the walking route to see what is around at that time of year. There are a number of host plants that are habitats for our most regularly seen critters. I will also try and incorporate any individual interests. The tour is a minimum of 2 hours (possibly longer depending on participants flexibility) and it will be a leisurely stroll through the Botanic Gardens focusing our attention of finding beautiful animals and taking the time to photograph or view them. We conclude our tour at the same meeting place where we set out from
Our Favourites
Night walks are a fantastic opportunity to see some critters who you don’t normally see. You will likely see many frogs, including White-lipped Tree Frogs, Northern stony creek frogs, Bi-colour tree frogs and Eastern dwarf tree frogs. There is a myriad of nocturnal insects including Crickets, Longicorn beetles and Katydids. You will also likely see the incredible net-casting spiders and huge Orb-weaver spiders. Depending on the season you may also see Striped possums, Speckled flying foxes, Papuan frogmouths and Micro bats.
Wear loose fitting comfortable clothing and closed shoes.
