As described this 16” x 20” linocut print combines gold text in a central circle reading “OUR FATE” arching upwards, “IS TIED” horizontally across the middle, “TO THAT OF THE INSECTS” arching downwards in two lines with insects.  Clockwise from top: two leaf cutter bees (Megachile relativa and M. brevis), the Imperial moth (Eacles imperialis), the Virgin Tiger moth (Apantesis virgo), an Isabella’s Longwings butterfly (Nymphalidae Eueides isabella), a blue orchard mason bee (Osmia lignaria), a firefly (Photinus pyralis), the rusty patched bumblebee (Bombus affinis), a white underwing moth (Catocala relicta), an eastern carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica), a sweat bee (Agapostemon sericeus), a hummingbird clearwing moth (Hermaris thysbe), the common eastern bumblebee (B. impatiens), a long-horned bee (Melissodes sp.), a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and centre: eastern snail-shell nesting bee (O. conjuncta).

A photo of Lincoln University summer scholar Max going the extra muddy mile helping set up an invertebrate monitoring project at Travis Wetland. The mud is up to his waste, and he's smiling.

Tommy (left) is doing his Lincoln University Masters research this summer repeating a 1995–1996 invertebrate survey of Travis Wetland, to see how the invertebrate community has changed. Here Tommy and Max are putting in one of a series of Malaise traps to sample flying invertebrates. Malaise traps look like open sided tents. Insects fly in, hit the middle barrier mesh, then fly up to get caught in a cup at the top.

A photo of a small moth with triangular wings that it splays out above its body in an odd post. The wings have an elegant brown and cream pattern.

This is the NZ Golden-brown Fern Moth, Musotima nitidalis

A photo of a pinkish brown moth with a backward curved abdomen and splayed out wings. It's an odd pose for a moth.

This is the Australian Wattle Gall Moth, Gauna aegusalis.

Collage showing insects attracted to light and automatically imaged 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours after sunset in Aranda, ACT, Australia on the night of 2 to 3 Nov 2025. The image includes four smaller images collected around the listed times. Each image shows a section of sheet with a variable number of insects attracted to UV and visible light. Number and variety depends on time of year and conditions during the given night. The image is also labeled with basic details of the associated weather and moon phase. For more explanation of the Automated Moth Trap project visit https://amt.hobern.net/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/dhobern/albums/72177720322426621.
