I really enjoyed learning about some of the common insects that we find here. And learning some facts that I never know!

The Dry | Jane Harper
post image

I was looking to see if a new Jane Harper might be in the works and found she hasn't updated social media since May 10. Google didn't give me any info newer than this either. Have any of you heard anything about her that I've missed?

Bookwormjillk Hmmm I hope she‘s just in the zone writing her next book 2d
bookandbedandtea @Bookwormjillk I hope so too! 🤞🏻 2d

A beautiful day for reading outside while waiting to be picked up. It‘s been wet, hot, humid, stormy here and this week coming looks like a lot of the same coming. I swear it wasn‘t this tropical in Adelaide when I was a child! This is Queensland weather!

I have ways loved the idea of seeing a hatterpillar in real life. A few years ago we came across one..l10 mm long..in Belair national park. I‘m so glad we only took photos and always respect wildlife …cause ouch! And I only found that out reading this! 😳

Boy Swallows Universe | Trent Dalton

Mehso-so

I mostly enjoyed Boy Swallows Universe, more than I thought I would, but it goes a bit off the rails in the third act 😕 It‘s definitely a different perspective on Australia – less sun-kissed beaches and beautiful bushland, more suburban noir and seedy underbelly. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/boy-swallows-universe-trent-dalton/

CarolynM I‘m glad I‘m not the only person in the country who didn‘t like it😬 I really don‘t get why it was so popular. 1w

Spending time reading at the drs while we wait to be called in. My son has foot surgery last week. We brought special bags to go over his foot to shower and of course when he tried this morning it didn‘t work…so we are waiting for bandage changes. At least it‘s quiet here!

Pogue I worked ortho and the best way to shower with bandages was a plain old plastic bag and lots of paper tape. I hope he heals well and fast. 1w
Darklunarose @Pogue I‘ll remember the next time (I‘m sure there will be, he is a rough and tumble guy who is talking playing rugby next year). It‘s healing so very very well. Just need to get it sorted! 6d

A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia | Greg Anderson, Robert Whyte
post image

Meet Abigail. Her and Agatha‘s joined our family on Tuesday. We have been preparing for them for weeks and I went down the rabbit hole learning as much as I could. They are Giant bark jumping spiders, but are as big as my pinky nail! Jumpers are the most intelligent arachnids, have dream cycles (as per a Harvard study), have the number recognition of a toddler, and recognise voice vibrations. I am in love with her.

Bookwormjillk That‘s amazing. I wonder what spiders dream about. 2w
Clare-Dragonfly Wow, how fascinating! I already liked jumping spiders because they‘re so cute but I had no idea they were also intelligent. 2w
Darklunarose @Clare-Dragonfly I would never have thought! All I can say is nature is pure amazing! 2w
