Immensely excited! When these names came onto my radar as a budding entomology nerd I never dreamed I'd write a book with them! Many will know @StevenFalk1 as a powerhouse at making insect identification accessible, so it's amazing and very fitting to have him on board.
We're excited that Steven Falk @StevenFalk1 has now joined co-authors Gail Ashton @gailashton, Rory Dimond @Ecoentogeek & @NatureBureau's Peter Creed to produce our NEW Photographic Guide to FLIES OF BRITAIN & IRELAND to be published later in 2025 @DipteristsForum @flygirlNHM

Listening to #YouandYours on @BBCRadio4 about the apparent rise in wasps this year. Great to hear @WaspWoman riding in on her white horse to defend them! I have a nest in my loft this year and enjoy watching the traffic of workers from my office window as I write.

๐ธ Massive news ๐ 33 precious froglets have been born at the Zoo, following an urgent mission to rescue their species from the brink of extinction. An important milestone for the international project to save Darwinโs frogs from being wiped out ๐ londonzoo.org/zoo-stories/neโฆ
There are a lot of these and many obscure yet fascinating species. It was tough to whittle them down but I hope we'll give them decent representation. Grateful to the kind photographers who have aided the mission.๐บ๐ชฐ๐ก๐ชฐ

Bug fashion ๐ Iโm initially inspired by the caterpillar that wear its own molted head, but thereโre so many other interesting bug costumes!
When temperatures fall, life becomes hard for insects. In Athayde's blog we explore some of the strategies, including diapause, that insects adopt to survive. Blog @ scottishpollinators.wordpress.com/2021/11/02/so-โฆ
This looks more like an Ancient Egyptian Far Side cartoon to me.

Bluesky is definitely a kinder place.. However, having weighed everything up I've decided to continue posting here, too Unfortunately it's a challenge to be seen these days. So, if you see this, please may I ask you to repost, so I can re-find my tribe? Thank you! ๐
It's great that lots of people want to encourage solitary bees in their gardens with #beehotels but there are a lot of rubbish ones for sale and not much information from sellers. This guide and product reviews by @MeganShersby is really helpful if you're a novice bee hotelier.
Provide shelter for your local solitary bees with a bee hotel. This guide reviews seven of the bee hotels available to buy, and how suitable they are. discoverwildlife.com/how-to/wildlifโฆ
A Wolf #Spider (subfamily Lycosinae) holds a June #Beetle (subfamily Melolonthinae) in its chelicerae, and the beetle holds an #Ant (genus Solenopsis) in *its* mandibles - it's our more-than-#TwoferTuesday Observation of the Day!
