It was great to march with #FilmStrikeForClimate supporting the #GlobalClimateStrike just now! Hundreds of people from the natural history film industry in Bristol left their offices today. Proud the Green Planet office was totally empty @iron_ammonite

@nicktew95 my favourite too- especially when the wool carders are out!

Quite a sad sight in Pontfadog, NE Wales. A Grey-patched mining bee (Andrena nitida) unable to forage on the hedgerow's flowers due to the netting.

@dollymixture @bo_novak @BrisBotanicGdn I have heard this anecdotally too! We decided against testing garlic, as I’m not sure many people would like to go around smelling like it. It makes me wonder about vampire myths though - there may be some truth about it repelling blood suckers!

[Freya Coen @freyacoen]

It’s been a peaceful start to the day at @BrisBotanicGdn. Poetry walks are happening (next one @ 2pm) and I’m here all day to share my recent research findings on the power of plants: botanical essential oils as ‘natural’ tick repellents

[Dr Will Leo Hawkes @WillLeoHawkes]

This plant is called Arum dioscoridis and there are about 5 individuals at the tip of Cyprus. As well as being quite beautiful; they emit a strong, fairly indescribable smell to attract their fly pollinators - flies that may have travelled 100s km on migration! #insectmigration
