Looks like Neocicindela hamiltoni, however it looks like the antennal scape has three setiforous pores, not one.

Abundant at this site and seems fairly common throughout the forest. Co-exists with M. sandageri and M. oregus. Ive previously found Mecodema laeviceps in this forest too but no trace of them on this trip.

First time to find velvet worm in my life.
The first photo is a homage to my friend @invertebratist.
Native beech forest in South Canterbury. Under a rotten log beside to walking track.
Probably this is 'Dunedin' peripatus.
15 pairs legs and brown based colors.
This is one of big happen in my life. I am very glad to found this crazy cool creature.

This is the large (35mm) "crassalis" form of this widespread Canterbury carabid beetle. It is known from a few South Canterbury hillside sites. I have found it to be moderately common along the Brothers range of hills east of SH8 between Cave and Fairlie.
The smaller typical form seems to reach its southernmost boundary on the coastal plains at the south end of Timaru. It may occur further south along the coast - something to investigate. The larger form appears identical to the smaller form anatomically and molecularly apparently, differing only in consistently larger average size.

Second specimen I’ve seen at this site, the southernmost site for this species known so far. Seems to be strictly coastal this far south, specimens are small (25mm), with the larger “crassalis” form (35mm) occuring further inland. Another undescribed species (dull black, 30mm) is common around Timaru gullies.

This tiny (1.8 - 2.0mm) eyeless orange carabid was found in very wet humus held in an open compost bin in my suburban garden, in a shady area with ample leaf litter and vegetation. Several were found during a period of heavy rainfall. Not seen in September during warmer dryer weather, so I anticipate that they are usually found deeper down.
Not sure of the species (there are 3 described), but certainly seems to key out at this genus.

A very quick view (no photo) of an Australian painted lady basking in my front garden around 1pm. I saw it fly down (much paler in flight than yellow admiral), it opened its wings for 2 seconds, then took off before I could snap a shot with the phone camera. Mild day, around 18C, following a long period of wet and cool weather.
This is only the second sighting I have made in Timaru, the first being in the 1970s. Have seen them in Nelson area on occasion. Perhaps there are greater numbers than usual?
