Whipstick critters 😍

On display at Bendigo Community Health Services Eaglehawk site.

It takes some serious patience to find the Whipstick’s twig-mimicking Katydid. For obvious reasons. But there’s not much about the forest on Eaglehawk’s fringe that evades Michael Barkla.

The BCHS client of almost 50 years – and local field naturalist – has spent decades documenting this rarest of environments, and its beasts big and miniscule.

A selection of Michael’s photographs of Whipstick invertebrates and flora are currently on show in the BCHS Eaglehawk site, delighting clients and staff.

“There’s such a range of insects that exist there, and I feel a need for people to know about them,” Michael says of sharing his work.

He says knowledge leads to care, and in his case, a life-long passion to protect the forest.
