A few months ago we had Bird of the Year, now it’s New Zealand Bug of the Year 2023:
Aotearoa is home to over 20,000 species of insects and spiders
Hmmm, what to vote for…

oh, you've got some beauties there! Love seeing the NZ wildlife. So different from what I get to see in North America.

@annahavron I haven't looked through all the candidates yet. Our planet has such an amazing diversity of life, eh!

I’m glad they’re not my size! That northern island moth looked a bit cozy.
