Wonderful experience working with @thefleaqueen in a small role as a scientific consultant on @StanAustralia series #TheCommons; impressive seeing the team work behind the scenes preparing for and during the shoots; have you seen it yet? #thread 1/4

[Dr Cameron Webb @Mozziebites]

Looking forward to watching #TheCommons on @StanAustralia tomorrow, was a brilliant experience contributing in a small way behind the scenes with @thefleaqueen! Why would a couple of entomologists be needed? Catch up with the trailer... https://t.co/447y0wU5sm

Looking for an exciting PhD in #entomology? I'm advertising a project exploring Australia's native #edibleinsects at @csiro, farming species @GoterraCBR and turning them into new foods @UniofAdelaide. Applications close Oct 15. Apply here: https://t.co/MX1ah7upEm

Is the 'bin chicken' a health risk to people? Our latest research published in Journal of Urban Ecology! "Clean bill of health? Towards an understanding of health risks posed by urban ibis" @Wingtags #wetlands #urbanecology #publichealth https://t.co/vHGKxkju9I

@petercoffey @NHM_Fleas @Bertonemyia @Mozziebites I think I spy a tubercle! N. fasciatus still my best guess...

[NHM_Fleas @NHM_Fleas]

Did you know that you can access all sort of information, including images from the https://t.co/qbD3X4GyCN website?

[Dr Andrea Lawrence @thefleaqueen]

@jwildthingy @petercoffey @Bertonemyia @Mozziebites @NHM_Fleas Looks like maybe Nosopsyllus fasciatus to me... hard to tell though as I can’t make out the frontal tubercle in the pic!

Counting down to #InternationalWomensDay on March 8th, here's a look at a remarkable female entomologist & parasitologist, Dame Miriam Rothschild, known for many scientific and humanitarian achievements. More info: https://t.co/tlstqIwsnW #entomology #vectors

@Mozziebites @ConversationEDU Oh my gosh, this is amazing! But also unsurprising to me 🙌👊

Discovered these beautiful #copper #photolithographic plates that were used in the 1966 ‘An illustrated catalogue of the Rothschild Collection of fleas’ in the collection today - even more delicate than the fleas themselves #art #literature #history #fleas #Rothschild

Have you ever seen a botfly larvae removed from someone? Hold on for the ride...

[NHM_Fleas @NHM_Fleas]

Just tucking into your Sunday lunch? Well so was an NHM colleague about to eat some roasted armadillo when he spotted this in the stomach lining - Tunga #fleas. These are the rows of adult females, preserved with some stomach lining & now in the ⁦@NHM_London⁩ collection

[NHM_Fleas @NHM_Fleas]

As well as an excellent historical and taxonomically important slide collection, the @NHM_London has a great dried flea collection, again dominated by the #Rothschild Collection it comprises of fleas from across the globe #collections #research

Describing our unnamed mosquito species is the first step to understanding their role in disease transmission #csirocollections @CSIROnews https://t.co/7OJKnRTRMj

[Dr Cameron Webb @Mozziebites]

Great article by @BrytheFlyGuy for @ConversationEDU today on the importance of mosquito taxonomy; we've got to know our pests (and those that may not be pests) to better manage future health risks! https://t.co/vFR23intbk

[Dr Andrea Lawrence @thefleaqueen]

@LizyLowe I can imagine! You’re doing an amazing job 🙌

[Dr Andrea Lawrence @thefleaqueen]

@HenryLydecker I LOVE IT

[Dr Andrea Lawrence @thefleaqueen]

@HenryLydecker @SydneySOLES @Sydney_Library So great! Needs more Ctenocephalides though... Pulex always gets the limelight!
