Still looking for thoughts on annual communities to offer ecosystem services in farmland! We would love to hear any and all thoughts and please RT if you can.

I am thrilled to share that our review has been published! In it we discuss the gaps in knowledge on the role of genetic variation on host-parasitoid interactions. https://t.co/aUvLVbtkng
Many thanks to all my co-authors @ipm_tom @AlisonKarley @Dr_Joe_Roberts @DrWamonje

The meadow was particularly noisy today, from yellowjackets to crickets and hoppers to buzzards

#LightPollution changes #insect behaviour, growth & development, potentially putting insects out of sync with the natural rhythm.

Sunak’s government has almost destroyed @NaturalEngland – just for doing its job.

If Labour wins the election, it must give our green watchdog back its budgets and independence.

I went back a couple of hours later and it had flown, but I got the exuvia

Canals support so much life, and I had a beautifully Odonata dominated morning walk

An emerging dragonfly! This is only the second emerging dragon I've seen so was quite a nice moment. I think it's a four-spotted chaser

Two nights of non-lethal moth trapping in Cornwall earlier in the week, 42 species across 92 specimens!

The first ladybird I've seen this year! Came through my open window

A beautiful day @NHM_London with @HAU_Entomology, not even a lifetime would be enough to learn everything contained in their insect cabinets

[Dr Ben Clunie @benclunie]

A fantastic day at the @NHM_London ento collections capped off with a group photo with an apt background. Over too soon - huge thanks to all the curators! @HAU_Entomology @flygirlNHM

@SISF_2024 I hope so!

[Bethany Wright @EntoBethWright]

The most wonderful day at @SISF_2024 with @HAU_Entomology. There were so many great organisations, many insects, really interesting and well presented lectures especially from @bugsnbrass on his PhD, and some beautiful playdough creations from the kids

[Dr Heather Campbell-Miles @scienceheather]

For our Ecological Entomology module this week we're doing some feeding ecology experiments. This one focuses on leaf insects and it's so fun getting to work with them.
