Just added a great post to my Instagram (entophography) about e
The instar stages of shield bugs! Here is a common green shield bug (Palomena prasina), possibly 3rd or 4th instar of its lifecycle! True bugs are fantastic!

The bumblebees are back in town (kind of)!

Bex Cartwright, our Senior Conservation Officer, has spotted several queen bumblebees in the last few days. Among her sightings was this small Garden bumblebee collecting pollen from her potted crocus 🐝🌷

Extremely Sad to hear the great "King of Sting" Justin Schmidt has passed away. His contribution to #Entomology will never be forgotten. One of the great people who pushed my passion towards Hymenoptera. Condolences to his Family and friends he will be greatly missed.

[Dr Richard Bate @thenewgalaxy]

Wildflowers can be defined as plants that grow of their own accord, and are often defined as those species that are naturally-occurring in their area (native species)

Many wildflower species are heavily threatened in the UK, let alone across the world

Having ADHD is expensive. It’s expensive with your time, money, energy, everything. Sometimes it really sucks, like when it takes you nine hours to do something that could’ve taken someone else five minutes. But I make it through each day.

[Harper Adams University @HarperAdamsUni]

Such a huge loss to his friends, family, and the entomological community. Professor Simon Leather @Entoprof will be greatly missed.

Life & death struggle on the palm of my hand; I've wanted to share this shot for ages now! Behold my luck at being the temporary landing zone for this parasitic wasp attempting to get a better hold on her spider bounty. (#Pompilidae) #macro #wildlife #invert #entomology #insects

@Sophiehwildlife So many application saying entry level that require an ecology work background with voluntary work not counted!

So happy to announce I've received a First Class Honours in my Wildlife Biology Degree! I am so unbelievably chuffed 👩‍🎓

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Why kill moths and ants ? Why ? It doesn’t make sense . Who makes this crap and why on Earth are they allowed to sell it ! For gods sake wake up - there is a biodiversity emergency - we’ve lost almost 70% of our wildlife since 1970 - we don’t need this nonsense now .

[Dave Goulson @DaveGoulson]

Just adding more honeybees is not the answer to declining pollinator numbers! It may do more harm than good. Come on @marksandspencer, do your homework :(

[Richard Jones @bugmanjones]

I’m disappointed that there are no collective nouns for butterflies. So I’ve started.
A punctuation of commas
An armada of red admirals
An idyll of meadow browns
A portal of gatekeepers
A labyrinth of walls
A watchfulness of peacocks
A scud of clouded yellows
Over to you.

Springtail fans in Oklahoma! I've started a "Collembola of Oklahoma" iNaturalist project to learn more about collembolan diversity in Oklahoma!
