Invertebrate data to support studies of bushfire impacts on insects

This dataset includes dragonflies, caddisflies, mayflies, stoneflies, grasshoppers, hemiptera, lacewings, beetles, flies, butterflies and moths. Species from these groups of insects were prioritised for digitisation based on DAWE’s Provisional list of priority invertebrate species requiring urgent management intervention or on-ground assessment developed post the 2019-20 bushfires. This work was funded under the Australian Government’s $200 million Bushfire Recovery Program for Wildlife and their Habitat. Out ‘what’ the collection is and ‘why’ the data was produced)
