I've photographed hundreds of Common Froghoppers (Philaenus spumarius) over the years and I thought I'd seen every colour pattern there was to see. Not so! This pattern is entirely new to me. Has anyone else seen it before? Leicestershire, VC55, 2020-08-15. @BritishBugs

Every year, 1 plant species per English county goes extinct. And thanks to the governments reforms in the planning system, the nationally scarce Maiden Pink may be next for South Lancashire, where it’s last native site, Ainsdale Hope School, is under threat from development 😡😭

@Bonzaimez Congratulations! Xx

@amoirogloua started downloading mine to my kindle - I'm even reading some!

A new leafhopper species has been named in honour of Dr Michael R. Wilson of @Museum_Cardiff. The new species, 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙞, is described from Israel by colleagues from @TelAvivUni and @PrairieResInst and published in @Zootaxa https://t.co/BSNYPconR9

My thoughts on why #BLM belongs in the UK as well. https://t.co/yE2Cxu9zmH

For the record, the botanical community are lovely. Seeing misinformation from someone who has a large platform and is trusted for natural history information is kinda frustrating. ❤ @Love_plants campaign for natural verges and #nomowmay

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Good afternoon angry botanists . You’ve all been reading ‘How not to make friends and fail to influence people’ during lockdown I see . So thanks , your supposition and pedantry is really useful . Maybe think ‘bigger picture’ and ‘get the ball rolling’ before going all Hemlock?

[Nia Howells @howellsns]

You should always smile at a crocodile 😁

[Nia Howells @howellsns]

Agreed - we should be talking about this more. Best way to tackle rising populations? Invest in education for girls and women, which also helps reduce poverty, end FGM and child brides and make the world a better place 👩🏿‍🎓📗

[Patrick O'Flynn @oflynnsocial]

Just struck me that in all the coverage every day on BBC News, of the perils of climate change and ways to slow it - paring down lifestyles etc - I have never once heard anyone talk about the massive rise in the global human population, mainly in developing countries. Why not?

[Nia Howells @howellsns]

@LearningLaughin It definitely is, #fastfashion wants to convince us all otherwise 😠

[Nia Howells @howellsns]

Two years ago my new year's resolution was to buy all my clothes #secondhand.
Now I don't think I'm going to buy anything new ever again unless I can't avoid it, 💚 not adding to capitalism, supporting charities, getting to know the people in my local charity shops 😊.

Love finding wildlife in the city. It gives me a little bit of hope, Cartagena, Colombia

[Nia Howells @howellsns]

My favourite photo from @MuseolaTertulia, Colombia. Walking through and seeing the walls of the dissappeared was a bit emotional thanks to recently reading @aranama Silver, sword and stone and missing my family. This photo helped a lot though #solotravel

[Nia Howells @howellsns]

<3 @vanessa_vash but where is the international media @guardianeco, surely there must be studies in local universities studying the extent and damage?

[🅰️aron Kaviiri Ateenyi @AaronKaviiri]

You are wrong ! @vanessa_vash from Uganda has been louder talking about the exact disaster for so long but because she is an African,she has been deliberately denied international media coverage and attention as well .@BBCWorld @AJEnglish @France24_en
