Sap feeding is widespread among Australian geckoes but they are widely regarded as insectivores. In her honours research, Corrine Edwards shows that dtellas feed on sap frequently. So should they be classified as omnivores?

There are promising signs of recovery in the rugged escarpments of the Sydney region that were toasted in the Black Summer Bushfires. Our surveys have revealed that some reptiles are doing well in burnt landscapes. @eco__aly @OwenBushfire @flamin_herps @ScaledSolution

The vigilant face of a Black Rock Skink (Egernia saxatilis) at Kanangra-Boyd national park! With @eco__aly @flamin_herps @mikeletnic
Brilliant frogs!
It's #FrogFriday and the first day of #FrogIDWeek! So I thought I'd share a crowd favourite (and my fave), the Crucifix Frog, Notaden bennettii. If you are lucky enough to live in their range, listen out for those distant 'whoops' and be sure to record with the @FrogIDAus app! 🐸
A beautiful mainland she-oak skink found in Morton National Park. A good amount of these guys were found in some heavily cooked areas! @eco__aly @flamin_herps @mikeletnic
A cool find from yesterday! Not a herp, but this will do!
Found this lorge fella in south Morton NP yesterday. The endangered giant #dragonfly Petalura gigantea. Pretty good find for post-bushfire region! @mikeletnic @ScaledSolution @flamin_herps
Great research on a great lizard!

lucky to be doing some research at James Cook University in Townsville this week! studying the biomechanics of climbing geckos with the help of @rishpillai and @cclemente4 !
When it rains it pours! Four species of frog absolutely loosing it. The added bonus of both the green tree frogs and trilling frogs in amplexus!
