Lake Tyers contains many organisms, and obviously the fish are most important for many people. This part of the site is devoted to the other parts of the lake's complex biota -


The microscopic images will be provided as movies as many of the organisms are hard to appreciate unless they are observed moving.

The aim of these pages is to heighten our awareness of the other creatures who's existence helps make up the fascinating world we live in.

If you have photos of interest around Lake Tyers Beach why contact us and let us know.

We seem to have a huge plague of Soldier Beetles (Coleoptera  Cantharidae, Chauliognathus lugubris )

For a great site to identify Insects of all types try  CSRIO What Bug Is That?. Truly fantastic!!!!
