How do you feel about a 'travel bubble' for the NT, Western Australia and South Australia? ✈️🤔

The Darwin Major Business Group's Ian Kew is calling for quarantine measures to be removed for air travel between the three jurisdictions.

The NT Government has consistently said border controls will be the last restriction to ease but Mr Kew says if there is a way to ease the restrictions sooner and safely, then it should be considered.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOSNAIL! 🐌

Think this groovy guy is having a great time? Think again.

Succinea (amber snails) are often hosts to a parasitic flatworm called Leucochloridium paradoxum. The flatworm takes control of the motor neurons in snail’s eye stalks to create these pulsating patterns.

The patterns of the “zombie snail” mimic a caterpillar, in a bid to attract hungry birds flying by. All in the hopes that a bird will sn**ch up the eye-catching snack and provide the flatworm with a cozy intestinal tract where it can reproduce.

All is not lost! Incredibly, the host snails can survive this ordeal thanks to regeneration. As the flatworm develops mostly in the snail’s eye stalk, it’s this portion of the snail that gets eaten by birds (they’ll pass on the shell, thanks.) The snail can then grow a new stalk and eye spot, and perhaps, start the journey again.
