24 hours ago this tiny strip was full of Ox eye, Vetch, St Johns Wort, Lady’s Bedstraw, grasshopper nymphs and more. I guess twas too untidy. Scale this up to UK level and its one reason for wildlife decline. #greenspaces #wildlifegardening #insectdecline Little Green Space 🐝 #biodiversity

So finally here is the 🧵on our latest (co-author) paper lead by Jacqueline Degens (taking over my account for this) group

Congrats to Mona for her first first-author paper

The holes in BNG which were glaringly obvious to invertebrate ecologists were seemingly irrelevant/unforeseen by 200 ecologists putting it together. Lack of understanding in the wider ecology sector is an issue+lack of real consultation with specialists. CIEEM #insectdecline

Methodological flaws raise concerns on a recently published #metaanalysis that took nuanced look at #insectdecline

Roll on May

It's starting already: councils' relentless over-mowing of public grassy areas. Dandelions, celandines and clover - humming with life, lifelines for our struggling pollinators - mown down to charmless, lifeless, 'tidy' bowling greens. Who wants their council to #saynotothemow ?

In de afgelopen 27 jaar is sprake van 76% #insectensterfte (gemeten in Duitsland, en aannemelijk bevonden dat ook Nederland een soortgelijke afname kent). Dat is zo in stedelijke gebieden maar ook in de polders. Echter: #stadsnatuur groeit, nu de rest nog :(

The Extinct & Endangered book is out today. A collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, the project raises awareness of insect decline and biodiversity loss.

I hate to blow my own trumpet, but I love feedback like this. This comment was just made on my Facebook page by one of the teachers from today’s school. We can all do our bit! Is someone cutting onions round here? 😂🙏🏻 #BeTheChange #Insectdecline #ClimateChange #education

Stephen Trotter I think that difference of perspective/experience/understanding was brutally displayed in the BNG debate. Freelance entomologists such as Richard Wilson, Andy Jukes & I immediately spotted fundamental problems that a 200-strong consultation panel had failed to spot.

It’s like we WANT to wipe nature out, if I was an alien visiting this planet I think it would be a very reasonable conclusion to come do, don’t you? #insectdecline #Saynotothemow
