Getting up close with bugs


I have worked from home this week sorting through invertebrate samples collected earlier this year and comparing this to samples collected two summers ago. Apparently the health of the soil can be told by what can be found in it. Another Fenced Reserve in the Waikato called Maungatautari did a study that found the number of beetles in the soil increased once pests and predators were fenced out.
