It would be no fun for us wearing a fluffy jumper in a heatwave so how must it feel for our fuzzy #bumblebees?! Help @The_Buzz_Club and @yanetsepulveda understand more about how our warming climate and extreme weather events affect bees. #ClimateChange #CitizenScience – at South East, England
Bees & Heatwaves 2024 is now OPEN! Join us to investigate how bees respond to summer temperatures and extreme weather events. From your own garden, you can contribute to crucial research and help create guides to support pollinators in a warming world. @The_Buzz_Club @DaveGoulson

Cool find during some pond maintenance by our @SummerwoodComm1 volunteers - caddis fly cases! The larvae use silk to bind together bits of stick, stones and other debris to make a protective case. This one even has some pearl mussels hanging out on it! #insects #wildlifegardening

I keep forgettign to use this site, since it's so broken :( But I do miss ecology twitter / chat. Anyone know if any of the alternatives are getting a science / ecology crowd going?
Got company for watching today's #Entolive webinar with @I_Cavadino. He's doing his best slug impression :P

Picked up a few plants from @NottmHPS sale today; also got distracted by lots of ladybirds hanging out mostly around various Lamiaceae. Mostly harlequins, but also a 10spot! #ladybirds

So the season is all but over, the bee hotels are draped in chicken wire to thwart the hungry Great Spotted Woodf*ckers, sorry, peckers. Spring seems far so away but here you go have An Andrena haemorrhoa on some Forget-me-nots to keep you going

Get ready for #Arachtober! This is our 17th year celebrating #spiders and all #arachnids. This year's banner tries to capture the color and feeling of one of @ConallMcCaughey's scaterscape web shots. Have fun!
