Very proud to have been awarded 'Top Performing Student' in the MRes Biosystematics cohort, but also incredibly proud of @ClemPrieul who achieved this award alongside me.
It's a special feeling being able to say that all our hard work together was worth it.
Thanks @NHM_London

Huge visible display of resistance by Stand Up to Racism in Plymouth tonight, to counter a comparatively much smaller far right crowd.
Check out @AntiRacismDay if you want to go to any of their planned anti racism demos over the next week.

Some May wildlife highlights from France's forest national park! Stag beetle, Swallowtail, Sabot de Vènus orchid and a big old sawfly.
About 3 weeks into data collection and 2 of those weeks have been rainy. Perks of fieldwork...

A great first day of surveying pollinator networks in the Parc National de Forêts, blessed too by a Swallowtail mid-transect. It didn't visit a flower, but it did pose for maybe the most symmetrical photo ever?

I'm looking for a few more moth trappers who would be happy to help collect parasitoid wasps 🐝🦋 as part of my PhD (equipment and postage provided). Especially looking for people in the unfilled vice-counties and Northern Ireland! @BroadGavin @WaspWoman Message me for more info

Interested in doing postdoctoral work in my lab in London, working on insect behaviour, learning and cognition? Have a look at this fellowship opportunity, and get in touch:

First day of PhD fieldwork in France's Parc National de Forêts 🐝
Searching for sites in protected areas and finding lots of sleepy bees following last night's frost @AssoPollinis @UniofReading @UK_CEH

I am very happy to share our new publications on Pollen diet diversity across bee lineages published on

I bloody love bees🐝
I’m about to speak in the Parliamentary debate on bees to make the case that bee killing pesticides must be banned.
Advice needed from entomology Twitter.
Planning on collecting insects (lethal sampling) in France Summer 2024 and transporting back to UK by train.
What permits for import (if any) do I need? Only info on gov website covers live animals/pets/exotics etc... – at Reading, England
