Anglian Parks & Wildlife

I'm John and I run Anglian Parks and Wildlife, a parks & wildlife consultancy based in Norwich, Norfolk and do lots of other stuff too, especially photography.

I've recently had a craft fair stall to sell some of my images. I now have some images available as digital download, prints, mounts, canvases etc on #etsyuk with a good discount. Do you have a look and see what you think. Any feedback gratefully received. https://t.co/D4yGxL4RFf

Does anyone know which longhorn beetle (cerambycidae) species this is? I can't get it to key out. I was thinking Alosterna but not convinced. #cerambycidae #longhorn #beetle

Does anyone know what this UK garden plant is?

[Anglian Parks & Wildlife @AnglianPandW]

I'm still unsure what it is but many thanks for the response.

@Botany2021 Thanks for that. Great pointer. I'm not sure it's cordata as the fruit looks more like microcarpa.

@Macrolunchtimes Many thanks for the help. I thought it was something closely related to Helichrysum but wasn't sure.

Does anyone know what this garden flower is?

I think they've dung right by dipterists.

Thank you @ChrisGPackham and all at @BBCSpringwatch - that’s more like it 🪰🤓👊

I've been a member of @WKWT for 34 yrs, often working closely with it professionally & an an amateur recorder to support it, generating much reserve data. Just been told I need permission to continue insect recording (I already had it) & must fill out RA paperwork for EACH visit.

Psychoda are tiny (3-4mm) true flies (Diptera) known as Drain flies or Moth flies. I was finding plenty of these yesterday under bits of deadwood, presumably overwintering queens?

The Diptera list for Union Wood, Co Sligo is coming together. The current total is 425 species starting from spring 2022.
Top groups so far:
137 - Fungus Gnats
68 - Hoverflies
45 - Craneflies
37 - Empids
Plenty of gaps to fill Dolichopodids and Muscids the focus next year.

@flygirlNHM @LSHTM Vector-borne disease is pretty basic biology. I did it at school years ago.

#NewYearPlantHunt starts tomorrow, 30th Dec! Between then and 2nd Jan, wrap up warm, head out for a walk and see how many flowers you can spot. Visit https://t.co/gXJNzLgP8s… for more info and to sign up. @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour

I've seen this with empids too restricted to a 2m x 2m plot.

@GeoffWilkinso19 When I think of bird dropping mimics I always think of the chinese character moth (Cilix glaucata). Not just the colouring but also the way it sits.

@OW_Photography I haven't had a frozen beard since motorcycling in freezing fog when I was younger.

[Anglian Parks & Wildlife @AnglianPandW]

@lizardschwartz I was curious about the species too. I suspect they're not from the UK.
