NatureMapr moves to simpler, flatter national structure
26 Aug 2025

As we continue to look for ways to reduce the overall footprint, complexity and ongoing cost to operate the platform, NatureMapr has decomissioned the legacy "regional" structure that many of you will...

Hi Barb, yes I’m back on the paddocks checking out what has surfaced after winter. I love walking around checking out the awakenings of Spring. Good to catalogue what comes out first and the steady progression of the flowering species, and the order in which they come out and how long they last. Live this time of year… it’s so exciting… always looking forward to seeing something different.
Drosera (genus)

I should have said - young beetles look totally different to the adults. They can be curl grubs e.g. Adoryphorus coulonii (Redheaded pasture cockchafer) or these shiny 'worms' e.g. Coleoptera (order) immature (Unidentified immature beetle) or an 'alien monster' e.g. Lycidae (family) (Net-winged beetle) or leaf eating 'grubs' e.g. Paropsis atomaria (Eucalyptus leaf beetle) and oodles more. When beetle larvae pupate they emerge as a fully grown beetle (like butterflies and moths also do)

Thank you Aaron for the explanation for the change, and I feel I understand the reasons why. I fully endorse the supportive comments of all those whe have commented here and I wish you and the technical teem and NatureMapr all the very best for the future. However, I acknowledge and see my role as a moderator will be not be as well informed by NatureMapr as it was previously - noting AlisonMilton's and KimberiRP's comments to that effect. I will be relying heavily on what I have learnt from that past flexibilty in NatureMapr in being able to educate myself about species and in tackling the future. One feature I will miss keenly is not being able to as quickly assess how well NatureMapr's confirmed geographical distributions of of a taxon compare with the coverage visible of the same taxon on other platforms (eg. the Atlas of Living Australia, iNaturalist and Bold Systems). I would like to particularly endorse KimberiRP's comments as regards a new dynamic tool which may possibly fill the gap.

@plants Good arvo. Yeah i read and consider your comment.
Except this plant's inflorescences and infructescences have spines, which _Lomandra multiflora_ inflorescences and infructescences do not have.
Lomandra fluviatilis
