Just started the last half of #melastomataceae fieldwork in Brazil. The campo rupestre might be my favorite ecosystem ever:)🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

An interesting example of superpowers and plasticity of behavior was found in tiny insects. Matvey Nikelshparg has discovered that they can drill through plastic with their ovipositor and do it in a very different way than they drill into natural materials

Rounded off the first part of #Rhexia #buzzpollination fieldwork with a visit to Gainesville to have drinks and chat #Melastomataceae with @OreMalu :)
@ashventuringg and Ben Lazarus will now start the buzzing experiments 😀

When the bees don’t come, I make friends with the funnel web spiders🕷️💫 sometimes I am glad I’m not a tiny bug #florida

We're back in Florida to study Rhexia #buzz #pollination
This year: scent, color, single visits, and artificial buzzing experiments 😀 #Melastomataceae @ashventuringg

Paper alert! Almost two years after #Botany 2021, where we conceived the idea, our study on the #altitudinal distribution of insect- and vertebrate-pollinated plants in the Americas is out @ASNAmNat @iochromaland @carriewessi @botanic_ash https://t.co/MARGN4ncGm #pollination

My second Clearwing species for today.

[ash kerber @ashventuringg]

Wandered the green hills of Derbyshire, UK & stumbled upon several individuals resembling this little one. Plenty of thistle flora to go around🐝🌿
I’m thinking Bombus lucorum…
