Lovely to find a little nesting site for Andrena clarkella 🐝 (Clark’s mining bee.)

One of the first solitary bees you’ll see in spring.🌞🌼🌸

Quite distinctive sexual dimorphism ⚥ in this species with the females bright orange thorax.

How many caterpillars is too many caterpillars? 🤔🐛 💯

Coming to the end of our big co-infection trial now & results are looking promising. Yesterday we successfully collected & calculated spore concentrations from our infected caterpillars.
