I remember a warm night on a road trip from Port Macquarie to Sydney. We pulled over at a rest stop under fluorescent street lights—and suddenly the air was full of buzzing. Dozens of Christmas beetles, drawn to the glare, flitted in waves. Their flight was unsteady, almost comical in its clumsiness—but mesmerising. When they landed, their shells glowed dusky gold or bronze; sometimes streaks of green or copper shimmered across their backs under the light. That scene stirred something primal: a sense of summer, of wild nature brushing up against our human spaces. It felt like magic. Recently this year I saw two Christmas beetles near Port Macquarie. Not a swarm, not dozens—but two. It was surreal, and stirred hope. Does that mean they're coming back? Probably not. But perhaps it's a small sign that under the right conditions, they still find their way.
