The Bumpy Satin Ash is one of the most exciting and spectacular primitive flowering trees in the tropical rainforest of the Daintree.  It is currently forming buds and should be fully in bloom towards the end of July. This conforms with our estimated time of arrival, about 6 months after a cyclone. Cyclone Oswald hammered the Cooper [...]]]></description>

After a great deal of research to identify this fig, we are pleased to inform you that the Figwood  (Ficus virgata) is now fruiting.  It is unusual to have one growing at eye level (like this one pictured), because most of this species in our rainforest are strangler figs, their branches reaching high above the [...]]]></description>

The amazing Green Tree Ant-mimicking crab spider (Amyciaea albomaculata) relies on subterfuge to deceive its&#8217; prey. Green Tree Ants (Oecophylla smaragdina) are an abundant food source, but getting close enough to bag and eat them requires evolutionary assistance.  The spider&#8217;s abdomen has two black dots resembling eyes and it presents the abdomen as a head to fool the [...]]]></description>

Strangler Figs dominate the skyline of the rainforest creating rounded domes that tower over other big trees.  Figs (ficus species) are deciduous and shed their leaves to give nourishment to the large number of plants that reside under their umbrellas.  When the new leaves emerge around August-September, the domes become golden, the crowning glory of [...]]]></description>

This beautiful Zodiac Moth, Alcides metaurus or zodiaca, has an amazing display of irridescent yellows and pinks against black.  The interesting thing is that it is diurnal (active during the day), whereas most moths are nocturnal.  Like other members of the Uraniidae moth family, the preferred food of the caterpillars are plants in the Euphorbiaceae [...]]]></description>
