!!We have moved!!
The @Bugologists Insect Ecology NZ page is up and running on @LinkedIn.
We will be saying goodbye to Twitter in the next few weeks so we invite everyone to follow us here at:

#Thrips (Thysanoptera) are major #insect pests in primary production systems. @Bugologists & @plantandfood engineers are developing an innovative system to deliver targeted selective pesticides while only using a fraction of active ingredients compared to spraying 🌻
Dry, wet or something in-between🧐? @plantandfood@Bugologists testing soil moisture liking of the #Awatere#Marlborough ground wētā to understand its preference and population build-up in certain locations and potential link with irrigation systems @BragatoResearch🍇#entomology
Always upskilling our teams' capabilities👌@Bugologists Lisa learning from other @plantandfood scientists the ins and outs of using Climex. The predictions of climate change on species distribution the program provides will be used in our @B3Director Diapause and Pathways project
Looking Red hot 💅! @plantandfood@Bugologists back in #Awatere#Marlborough to undertake surveys on ground wētā to unlock sustainable management. PhD student from @MasseyUni tagged adults at night to look at movement within the vineyards over time @BragatoResearch🍇#entomology
Informing stakeholders about new projects in the Better Border Biosecurity collaboration @B3director at the Science Partnership Forum in Wellington #NZ. The awesome critical science conducted in B3 recently won the @MPI_NZ Biosecurity NZ Science Award 2022!! 👏👍
@plantandfood scientists and researchers enjoyed discussing and sharing experiences working in sciences with Māori students in #STEM Pūhoro Wānanga @AraCanterbury
It was a busy week last week hosting @plantandfood workshops for #strawberry growers and scouts across NZ to offer hands on experience identifying pests and beneficials. Australian #IPM expert Dr Paul Horne held discussions on improving #pestmanagement via IPM implementation.
@plantandfood scientists and researchers enjoyed discussing and sharing experiences working in sciences with Māori students in Pūhoro #STEM Academy regional wānanga this week @AraCanterbury
Great start to the new Wētā project in the #Awatere area #Marlborough with over 20 local #wine growers turning up at Seddon hall for grower engagement with @plantandfood@Bugologists. The project is in collaboration with @MasseyUni and funded through @BragatoResearch.
