Maybe I should have spent my weekend working on my PhD. But instead I’ve spent today painting a (not quite finished) portrait of the wonderful David Attenborough.

I think it was a very good use of a Sunday.

Was great fun filming the violet ground beetles for #Autumnwatch tonight! 🎥 Keep a lookout in your garden or park for these beautiful yet ferocious creatures! 🪲@BBCSpringwatch

[Jack @zoologyjack]

Was great to see @BBCSpringwatch giving the burying beetle some well deserved attention, and even showing my footage! Thanks @ChrisGPackham for the amazing narration! #Springwatch

[Rebecca Kilner @BuryingBeetle]

Many congratulations to the burying beetle team on our latest paper, led by @ana_lf_duarte and @DarrenRebar. Brilliant to see @JackMLSmith's photo on the cover too!

Checkout the @BritishEcolSoc virtual exhibition here https://t.co/CfwcDygJOQ where you can see three of my photos! I was lucky enough to get a highly commended, and be the student winner in two different categories! @CamZoology

[Jack @zoologyjack]

Really proud that my photo of a blowfly was one of the @BritishEcolSoc photography competition winners!

A close-up of a gull's eye is the overall winner of this year's British Ecological Society photography competition.

Here's a look at some of the mesmerizing images. https://t.co/FuH7JDhcCS

I thought I’d spotted my last lesser stag beetle of the year a long time ago, until this guy appeared the other day! This time of year isn't that bad after all.

[Evolutionary Biomechanics Laboratory @EvoBiomech]

Insect enthusiasts: send us your fave specimen, and we will create an (almost) photorealistic 3D model for you! The top 5 may make it into our upcoming paper. We built a photogrammetry set-up/meshing pipeline; Tech. drawings, parts and scripts will be made available to all. 1/5

Very happy to share this new Daphnia paper from @MeganHasoon and myself linking maternal effects, embryogenesis and the life-histories of individual animals @NERCscience @LivUni_IVES @iib_pubs https://t.co/GjBG0HHlcG

"If you’re attempting to monitor the health of #biodiversity and #extinction accurately, you need to know what’s there... but we are a very long way from knowing even half of the world's biodiversity in any detail". Proof that hard-core #taxonomy is vital.

Here’s a pair of (aptly named) red-tailed bumblebees to celebrate Liverpool winning the league and National Insect Week! Who says football and entomology can’t go hand in hand?

At the end of the storm, there's a golden sky...

Wooo thanks @DiscoverMag for featuring my image of an insect suction organ (Diptera: Blephariceridae) in your magazine 🙌🙌 And thanks for shipping it all the way from the US 🙏. Here's a link to the study for those interested: https://t.co/8YjSVjUhie. @DrAnnaFunk @CamZoology

@Jenny_E_York @BBCSpringwatch Thanks so much Jenny!

[Jack @zoologyjack]

It's been so refreshing to see nature flourish during this lockdown. My fox neighbours are just the best, so thought I'd post a video. Although the mother has three, this one seems to be her favourite! @BBCSpringwatch

[Jack @zoologyjack]

For #WorldColeopteraWeekend I thought I’d share this majestic Jewel Scarab (Chrysina sp.) found in the cloud forests of Costa Rica. This guy is such a showoff!

This week on #UsAndSTEMM @camfm972 I'm joined by @r_mashup from @CamZoology @Cambridge_Uni. We'll be talking about epigenetics, academic work-life balance, and creating the perfect pizza. Listen at 6pm on https://t.co/LGVddnqjQB.
