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. My full-res photo is on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/mollivan_jon/54945126155/

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. My full-res photo is on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/mollivan_jon/54945126160

A photo of the same site yesterday (24 November 2025), which now feels like a real forest. The canopy is 4–5 metres above my head and there is a lot of wild undergrowth happening. My full-resolution version of this is on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/mollivan_jon/54945075549/

A photo of a triangular shaped blotch pink moth (above) and a white moth with black zig-zag shapes (below). The top moth is the NZ endemic Common Forest Looper moth, Pseudocoremia suavis. The lichen moth below it is the NZ endemic Izatha katadiktya. For my full-res photo and observation details see https://inaturalist.nz/observations/324611809

A map of my 12 km run route from the edge of the housing in the Cashmere suburb of Christchurch up into the grasslands and forests of the Port Hills (climbing 374 metres). There is a satellite image underlay that shows the land cover. Yellow dots on the map indicate each observation I made of one or more korimako (NZ bellbirds). This map is from my July 2025 run and has 249 yellow points on the map. The natural native forest to the south of the map (the highest part of the run) is now thick with yellow points.

A photo looking down from head height at a thin-leaved spiny plant. This is a taramea, a kind of NZ speargrass (also called spaniard). They're no longer common in the Port Hills, as they're susceptible to grazing by introduced mammals. I map out all the ones I find and add them to iNaturalist. My full-res photo is at https://inaturalist.nz/observations/297848991
