HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE
THE BUG HUNT IS ON
Bugs at your place
Insects, spiders, creepy crawlies are in
focus on the northern end of the Range.
Here is an opportunity for everyone, adults
and children, to contribute to scientific
research while staying at home.
A request for observed ‘bugs’ has been received from a research
team working alongside the Queensland museum and UQ.
How can you assist?
Take very clear images of your bug – from all sides, if possible and
email to:
Include in your message:
Your name
Photographer’s name
Location of bug sighting [street
name, GPS, whatever you
think is best so the location
can be easily found in the future.]
If bug is dead, place in a cardboard box and keep until you are able
to show/give research team, keep in your personal collection.
Maybe you might observe a ‘new’ species?

SUPPORTING EACH OTHER The world has changed rather rapidly for all of us. Getting used to the ‘new normal’ is challenging and for some quite distressing. My ‘new normal’ as your local representative has become trying to help many people faced with losing their job, losing their business, fears about their health, confusion with the rules and what might be considered exceptions to those rules. Everyone has been impacted differently but everyone has been impacted. However, as we are all in this together can I suggest some ways we might help each other. If you are one of the many people who haven’t lost income and are working from home, why not use this time to hire a local tradie to come and fix something you’ve been putting off. Tradies I have spoken to speak of work ‘drying up’ as people fear or experience income loss. If you have the capacity, now is a good time to give them some work within the social distancing rules and hygiene practices of course. And what about supplies? Check out the Sunshine Coast Food and Agribusiness Facebook page for ideas on how to support local suppliers. I visited and did media with one of our new local brewers in Yandina, Terella Brewing. They are moving into production of takeaways in order to keep their popular business going after the shutdown of their bar area. They should be set up for online orders in the very near future, consider getting your beer there and supporting our local businesses through these times. There are many other local businesses we can support while staying within the rules about going out only for essential reasons. If you’re thinking of buying something, think local. One more way we can be creative about maintaining a bit of normality is to try and keep ANZAC Day as meaningful as possible. See my Facebook page for a campaign to get everyone to go to the end of the driveway at 6am, as suggested by the RSL, for a minute’s silence, but to also dress up appropriately as you normally would and #wearyoursuit. I will also be profiling local ANZAC heroes who lost their lives during the month on Facebook. If you have a story and photograph you would like me to include please email to my office. My staff and I continue to work hard every day answering queries, writing to Ministers and advocating for the things we need. Unfortunately personal visits are out for the time being unless critical but I’m a phone call or email away. Keep being patient and kind with each other, support local and dress up for ANZAC Day.

ABOUT THE HOUSE AND GARDEN
DURING CONFINEMANT
TEDDY BEAR BEES - (Amegilla (Asaropoda))
Do you have a real teddy bear's picnic in your garden? Protect these charming, chubby bees. Teddy Bear Bees are solitary bees. Each female builds an individual nest for herself in a small burrow in the soil. However, quite a few Teddy Bear Bees may build nests close together in a sheltered location such as in an eroded creek bank or underneath a house. These fat bees can be found nesting in shallow burrows in the soil. As these bees age, the hair on the top of their thorax becomes worn and they develop a bald spot. If you observe them in your garden – look for any band colourations on the body - please take many images and send. Research team is on the lookout for a rare form.

‘Just had a delicious Malaysian chicken curry from Cafe
Mapleton. New owners and they have come at a tough time. I don’t buy take away as a rule, but am just supporting them.
Phone 0476 387 423. I also get a coffee there,’ said a community member.
For those with children who may find it hard to explain what is going on, this makes a lovely bedtime story. The Time We Spring Cleaned the World The world it got so busy, There were people all around. They left their germs behind them; In the air and on the ground. These germs grew bigger and stronger. They wanted to come and stay. They didn’t want to hurt anyone - They just really wanted to play. Sometimes they tried to hold your hand, Or tickled your throat or your nose. They could make you cough and sneeze And make your face as red as a rose. And so these germs took over. They started to make people ill, And with every cough we coughed More and more germs would spill. All the queens and kings had a meeting. “It’s time to clean the world up!” they said. And so they had to close lots of fun stuff, Just so these germs couldn’t spread. We couldn’t go to cinemas Or restaurants for our tea. There was no football or parties, The world got as quiet as can be. The kids stopped going to school, The mums and dads went to work less. Then a great, big, giant scrubbing brush Cleaned the sky and the sea and the mess! Dads started teaching the sums, Big brothers played with us more, Mums were in charge of homework And we read and played jigsaws galore! The whole world was washing their hands And building super toilet roll forts! Outside was quiet and peaceful, Now home was the place for all sports. So we played in the world that was home And our days filled up with fun and love, And the germs they grew smaller and smaller And the sun watched from up above. Then one morning the sun woke up early, She smiled and stretched her beams wide. The world had been fully spring cleaned, It was time to go back outside! We opened our doors oh so slowly And breathed in the clean and fresh air. We promised that forever and always Of this beautiful world we’d take care! Author Unknown Artist Maggie Vandewalle Thank you Susan Diplock for sharing.
