About the Exhibition
Some visitors are welcome guests, repaying their host perhaps with services. Others give nothing in return for hospitality. They take whatever they can get and may damage their host. So it is with flowers and animals.
From my woodland block in Humpty Doo, I have spent many pleasant hours and days observing and recording the most conspicuous of these interactions. A range of Birds visiting different Eucalypts and Kurrajongs; butterflies, bees, wasps – some of them new to science – feasting on native roadside annuals; Bee-flies humming above Turkeybushes; Blue banded bees drinking from scented native Jasminum; a whole range of passers by and visitors to Native grape; cockatoos and parrots stripping seeds and those nocturnal visitors– moths, crickets, fruit bats, gliders.
I hope that after seeing this exhibition you will view these creatures not as destructive, disease carrying nuisances but as pollinators, remarkably adapted beings, a vital part of our ecosystems and our lives
