I love Northern Australia, and it breaks my heart what's happening and is planned for this region. More people need to know why this place is so special and what's at risk, so I wrote about it. My first article for @australiainstitute.org.au's The Point. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Northern Australia is extraordinary, and it’s under severe threat

Right now, this region, is under siege, in large part due to insatiable corporate and government desires to ‘develop’ the North.

Golden orb weaver blessings for your weekend! 🕸️🌏 This species is Trichonephila edulis, and it's a sure sign of summer when their beautiful huge webs appear. Once a female has made her web she's pretty much stationary for months, so you can really get to know the girls in your neighborhood! #wildoz

A female Australian golden orbweaver spider sits in her web next to some debris she has collected to act as a "distraction" to predators - the debris can also contain her larder of captured insects saved for later meals. The spider has a light grey abdomen and white, slightly fuzzy cephalothorax with black dots. Her reddish-brown legs have a series of fuzzy black "brushes" around each of the main joints.
