Lincoln Library<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each<br />
week he introduces a new species found in his<br />
backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public<br />
awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things<br />
around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates<br />
found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section<br />
Light attracts bug<br />
we know little about<br />
TURNING YOUR outside<br />
light on at night is a great way<br />
to survey the local moth fauna,<br />
but moths aren’t the only critters<br />
you attract.<br />
Beetles, wasps, caddisflies,<br />
spiders, mites and flies can all be<br />
seen around lights.<br />
Back in August, I found a<br />
true bug called Wekamiris<br />
auropilosus. This species is<br />
orange-brown to dark brown in<br />
colour with intricate patterns or<br />
markings on its back. It also has<br />
a small yellow head with large<br />
“buggy” eyes, compared to its<br />
head size.<br />
The species is 4-6mm long and<br />
occurs throughout New Zealand,<br />
including some offshore<br />
islands.<br />
Very little is known about<br />
this species, but it has been<br />
found on Pseudopanax<br />
species, Olearia ilicifolia,<br />
Muehlenbeckia, Nothofagus,<br />
ferns, tussock, and litter of Pinus<br />
radiata.<br />
