Busy as a bzzz.. wasp. 1) Keep an eye out for the Wasp Nest Beetle emerging from the nest at the beginning of the clip. It’s life history is fascinating. The adult lays eggs on rotting wood and the beetle larva climbs onto the back of a wasp harvesting the wood fibre for its nest

Why are these migrants being allowed to move freely around Europe for generations without having to adhere to any corona or brexit travel restrictions?? Plus, they don’t contribute anything to our carbon footprint!! I’m sooo jealous of this Painted Lady

This is revealing . . . our pets are estimated to be consuming up to 20% of all meat globally and experts suggest insect-based food 'better for pets than top steak' - we have to change our ways , maybe our pets have to change theirs too . . . https://t.co/is7mH29bfs

There was worldwide outcry when the Notre Dame cathedral was on fire. Why is there not the same level of outrage for the fires destroying the #AmazonRainforest?

And there was me thinking the Sedge Warbler would be the highlight of the day at work. Death’s-head Hawkmoth caterpillar in the car park!

There are around 5.5m insect species. Stuart Reynolds,
Emeritus Professor of Entomology @UniofBathSci, asks what happens to the natural world if they all disappeared. 🐜🦗🦋🐞
