"As night falls over Australia’s forests, grasslands and backyards, the hidden
world of nocturnal insects stirs to life. In many ecosystems, overall insect
activity actually peaks at night, especially in warmer regions of the world.

These nighttime creatures play essential roles in ecosystems, providing
services such as pollination, waste decomposition, and pest control. Here are
some of the remarkable insects that come out after dark – and why they matter."
