Still on the hunt for any growers willing to send @ipm_tom and me vine weevil!

We urgently need to replenish our culture for an upcoming PhD due to start in September. This project will investigate vine weevil biology and aim to develop new control methods.

@AndrewSalisbur2 @RHSWisley @ScienceWeekUK Hi! That card game looks interesting. Do you have to match pests with crops?

[Frauke Fedderwitz @FFedderwitz]

Happy coincidence: Took the chance to build a solitary bee nest @library_MU during my lunch break after my meeting @MaynoothUni . Great event organised by @GreenCampus_MU 🐝

This week I want to show you how beautifully diverse caterpillars have evolved.

Which one is your favorite?
