17 years trading here at the end of the week and we are just growing wings. Cheers for the support and interest as we continue to develop the best insect range, products, and innovative farming solutions in the world to help support and explore new opportunities in animal feed, conservation, education, fertiliser, fuel, cosmetics, research and so on. The scope is huge, many have failed, but all that aside, it's the small things like feeding your pets proper nutritious insects that makes it all worth it at the end of the day and enables us to chirp on. THANKYOU NZ.

The Incredible Insects of Aotearoa by Simon Pollard and Phil Sirvid is out on Thursday 8 May 🐜🦗🪲🪳

What do you call a grasshopper dressed as a gladiator? Why are sandfly bites so itchy? What links insects and Māori whakairo? How does a glow worm glow? Why does this book include sorcerers, vampires and dragons? What makes insects in Aotearoa so special?

From our backyards to high in the mountains, through forests, along coastlines, and in the darkness of caves, award-winning science writer Simon Pollard and Te Papa insect expert Phil Sirvid answer these questions and more.

Earthworms process over 20 tons of soil per acre each year, creating essential channels for oxygen and water—all while working silently as you sleep.

As nature’s nutrient factory, they transform dead matter into rich plant food, producing castings that are five times more nutrient-dense than topsoil and release vital minerals that plants can’t access on their own.

They are also ecosystem builders, supporting beneficial microbes, improving both drainage and drought resilience, and naturally storing carbon in the soil.

Want to help us help you? Add organic matter, minimize soil disturbance, skip synthetic chemicals, and keep the soil moist but not soggy.

For every human on Earth, there are 1.5 million of us working tirelessly beneath your feet.

that was quick, moving south, Napier last week :)

They sit motionless... then rush after and eat prey by sucking out juices and discarding the hard outer pieces.
Now they appear to be establishing themselves in a new part of NZ 👇

Beautiful morning to be a ram coming into season.

Create the habitat and they will come. New pond brimming with tadpoles. 😍 chirp on.

Lachryphagy (verb, “Lah-CRIH-fih-gee”) This is a thirst for another animal's tears. Scientists have observed insects — especially butterflies, bees and flies — crawling into the eyes of animals. There, the insect will sip on the animal's tears. This might sound creepy, but tears have ingredients insects can use.
