It's #InsectWeek23! Did you know Ants will often consume the honeydew produced by variegated oak aphids (Lachnus roboris) and actively defend them against predators. Can you can spot any ants amongst the aphids in these pictures?

Ips typographus have a ‘elytral declivity’ at the bottom of their wing cases. They use their elytral declivity to push frass (beetle poo) out of their galleries under tree bark https://t.co/uQJ6Eswti4

Rhizophagus grandis, the biocontrol of the pest great spruce bark beetle (Dendroctonus micans), may travel several kilometres in order to find their prey – an impressive feat for a beetle less than 5.5mm long! https://t.co/QIP7mJmqFN

Did you know that female aphids reproduce asexually during summer and are born already carrying their granddaughters? Green spruce aphids are the main defoliator of spruce in the UK #InsectWeek23 https://t.co/AK78tywDyB

Did you know that one of the most destructive forest pests globally, emerald ash borer, is a member of the jewel beetle family, whose iridescent wing cases have long been used in jewellery and embroidery? #InsectWeek23

An Expert Working Group is meeting in Paris this week to assess the risk posed by Agrilus mali to the EPPO Region.
This wood boring insect is native to Asia and can damage apple trees.

@dr_andy_wilcox @EntoProf @HarperAdamsUni This is very sad news. Like so many others, I wouldn’t be working in entomology without Simon’s encouragement and support. He inspired so many of his students to become ecologists and entomologists. Please pass on condolences to his family.

It was great to be part of the inspiring #RSBPlantHealthSummit - fantastic to connect with a new network of plant health professionals, and visual representations like these should become a scientific conference staple!
