North American Family on the an adventure of a lifetime. We moved from BC Canada to Tasmania six years ago with two kids and hubby who worked in the salmon farming industry. We have loved every moment but our nomadic tendencies have called. We are going bush. Inside are the adventures of our year caravaning around Australia. We want to see it all!

Have you felt something crawl down your shirt or buzz in loudly in your hair yet? then that’s probably a lively Christmas beetle!! They are speckled with many different colours or dots –about 15 - 40 mm in size and we have over 3000 species in Australia.
But your beautiful little green beetle is not one. I think maybe it’s a green carab beetle, they have a brilliant metallic like green colour and are quite stunning, very beautiful. Hard to see from the photo ? Bush Fires worrying for Tassie at the moment !
Best wishes
Thanks for that Lindsey. Some bloc told me it was a christmas beetle. They also come in red. Pretty none the less
We heard on our news last night about the fires over there. There are crews from B.C. fighting them. They are considered experts on forest fires. God knows we have had our share.
I ran into Eliza at the rink yesterday. I would have never recognized her kids. Callem is getting to be very BIG!! He plays in the same division(hockey) as my guy. She says she misses you like crazy!!
Dianne and I are going for the annual sushi Christmas meal next week. It will be very lonely without you. We will have a drink in your honor buddy!!!
Miss you guys lots too. I still have some past pics of our annual dinners. Glad we did those. Memories are so special.sigh..... Enjoy your Christmas!
What a beautiful emerald colour!
Looks like a tiny jewel!
What a beautiful color! I was thinking it's not big enough to be a Christmas beetle...they're big, fat, and clumsy and I think a darker iridescent green, if I remember rightly. It's been years since I've seen one.
I just read Lindsaylobe's comment, which brings back memories of them getting tangled in my hair or clothing at night as they flew towards the light of an open door.
He sure is a mine of information!
