Oh nothing can protect you from these little buggers...

Interestingly, did you know they think sandflies detect targets by the carbon dioxide you expire? Even invisibility is no escape!!

That is FASCINATING

I've enjoyed researching so many species for this book. Never had so many 'you clever little bastards' moments as with the namu.

Have you read Six Legged Ghosts? My partner is real into her entomyology atm and it's such a good look into Aotearoa bug life!

I hadn't but this looks like an excellent source! I'll have to see if the local library has a copy I can snag.

Insects have often been the most frustrating to research, so many times there just isn't much literature. Makes me appreciate all our hardworking entomologists so much more.

We've got a little library of NZ entomology now! I'll have to take a look and see if there's anything else that might be useful for you
