Discover Aotearoa’s rarest beetle – the critically endangered Canterbury Knobbled Weevil!
Did you know we have one of New Zealand’s rarest and most unusual insects living right here in our Canterbury backyard? Join Maddy Pye from the Department of Conservation to uncover the fascinating story of this tiny native beetle, its rediscovery, the challenges it faces and the conservation work underway to help protect it.
You might be surprised by what’s living right on our doorstep, or in this case on your drive through Burkes Pass (also released in the Ōtūwharekai/ Ashburton lakes area)! Come along, learn something new, and discover why this little beetle deserves our attention.
