A whiskery little Fawn-footed Melomys (Melomys cervinipes). These rodents love dense forest where they can run up and down vines and small trees. Often I spotlight them eating things, the most common item being centipedes. Keep it up little guys! Kill those awful creatures! #someheroesdontwearcapes #bravesoldiers #peopleschampion #bestrodent #mammalwatching #wildoz #abcwildoz

A fairly intimidating and to be honest, quite creepy Giant King Cricket from the rainforests of the Australian east coasts. There's a video of its threat display in my feed. - - - - #inverts #invertebrate #kingcricket #giant #cricket #macrointhewild #wildoz #abcwildoz

Pink-tongued Skink from a week ago. I haven't seen one of these charming Skinks for years! This species has an enlarged tooth on the bottom jaw that I'm told is specifically for busting open snail shells. Like blue tongues, the Pink-tongued Skink has benefited from the introduction of the garden snail into Australia. - - - -- - - #exclusive_wildlife #allnatureshots #igscwildlife #majestic_wildlife #gecko #bestnatureshots #global4nature #geckos #geckosofinstagram #wildlife_perfection #geckosofig #wildoz #planetwildlife #planetnature #skinks #abcwildoz #wildoz #skinkstagram (at Grafton, New South Wales, Australia)

A Scarlet-sided Pobblebonk (Limnodynastes terrareginae) showing off its big ole behind as a sort of threat display. #buttshot #herping #wildoz #abcwildoz

I don't really know what this is. Please tell me in the comments. I've always just called them King Crickets. If I was in New Zealand id call it a Weta. #wildoz #abcwildoz #threatdisplay #insects #macrointhewild #crickets #weta #australia #forestfauna

A happy little black-eared cuckoo from the flinders ranges. Great little birds that always seem so lonely. They are brood parasites on birds like Speckled Warbler and Redthroat. In Western Australia the eggs of the Black-eared cuckoo are a deep purple red to match the Redthroat eggs. One the east side of their range their eggs are speckled! #wildoz #abcwildoz
