Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and we're celebrating the women who've been shaping Australian botany for over 200 years.

Take, for example, the Scott sisters, who documented native flora with scientific precision in the 1800s; or Barbara Briggs, who used "detective botany" to help solve a criminal case; or D'harawal woman Fran Bodkin, who connected Western science with Indigenous knowledge. And there are so many more. Their stories are wild, wonderful and well overdue for your attention!

A new species of native bee with tiny devil-like “horns” has been discovered in Western Australia’s Goldfields, named Megachile (Hackeriapis) lucifer.

The new bee was discovered during surveys of Marianthus aquilonarius, a critically endangered wildflower found only in Western Australia’s Bremer Range, between the towns of Norseman and Hyden.

Lead author Dr Kit Prendergast, an Adjunct Research Fellow at Curtin University’s School of Molecular and Life Sciences, said the female bee’s distinctive horned face inspired the name Lucifer — Latin for “light-bringer,” and a playful nod to its devilish appearance.

“I discovered the species while surveying a rare plant in the Goldfields and noticed this bee visiting both the endangered wildflower and a nearby mallee tree,” Dr Prendergast said.

“The female had these incredible little horns on her face. When writing up the new species description I was watching the Netflix show Lucifer at the time, and the name just fit perfectly. I am also a huge fan of the Netflix character Lucifer so it was a no-brainer."
