Cool find during some pond maintenance by our Summerwood Community Gardens 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?

Badger evidence on an allotment site today? 🦡
Mammal-knowers, what do we think?

Got company for watching today's #Entolive webinar with Imogen Cavadino. He's doing his best slug impression :P

Picked up a few plants from Hardy Plant Society Nottingham Group 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 Conall McCaughey's scaterscape web shots. Have fun!

Yeah, you probably will get a single bee.
*Three quid*?!

Worms contribute 6.5% plus #pollinators add between 5% and 8% (call it another 6.5%). There's a 13% contribution to agriculture from #nature , even before we consider insectivorous birds, dragonflies, etc.

Investing in nature makes a contribution to #FoodSecurity - fact!

*Botanist enters the chat*

By this definition, cardboard, compost and coffee tables are also sugar.

Aw, bus driver just let me nip out at the next stop to release a big opillione that had hitched a ride in my Bag Of Apples so it didn't get smushed :)

I think there are more photos of me hunched over a bug tray on twitter than otherwise 😆
