DEADLINE APPROACHING 🚨. Apply for our FREE July #entomology course @HarperAdamsUni aimed at PhDs & ECRs looking to upgrade their field, lab & data skills in #insect based research. Details in the link; harper-adams.ac.uk/courses/short-… Please RT
In just over 3 weeks @DonegalBioblitz is gathering a host of people to survey a vastly under-recorded area of Donegal. If you have experience and time, please consider getting involved. donegalbioblitz.ie
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who took part in City Nature Challenge 2024 for Greater Belfast. It was a success with over 3000 observations submitted & 62 participants. We currently sit at 10th out of 24 across the UK
A team of entomologists & naturalists from #NorthernIreland & #Germany have described a new species of #beetle, previously unknown to science. The “Fence-climber Twiglet Weevil” was discovered by Buglife Conservation Officer @josh_ecology Read more👇 buglife.org.uk/news/colourful…
Buzz into the world of Bee ID with @microwildhq's Irish Bee Identification Course! This two-day event kicks off online on May 18th, with an introduction to the diverse bee species of Ireland and continues with a field outing in West Wicklow on the 19th. eventbrite.com/e/irish-bee-id…
I turned a rotting log today and released this beautiful female cranefly with a rather dark body. Perhaps @RyanM_Sussex might point me to an ID?
A rather faded female Andrena clarkella (Clark's Mining Bee) on Willow today. It's pretty much time-up for the A. clarkella in my locality. First to emerge and the first to disappear every year. The females normally have a strong ginger or chestnut thorax when they emerge.
I found lots of Pill Millipedes today—so many, in fact, that I almost overlooked this sweet Armadillidium vulgare woodlouse, thinking it was just another millipede.
I love it when you find something completely by accident. I was turning logs and stones when this beautiful female Nomada leucophthalma flew by my face and landed on a piece of grass about a metre away from me.
A stunning spider I came across on a lunchtime stroll* today. Perhaps @collieennis or @BritishSpiders can help me with ID? * It's a lie, I never stroll, I'm always surveying.
My housing estate has a designated wild area that is quite damp, so we've planted native trees and allowed it to grow wild. Right now there are many dandelions and lots of cuckoo flowers. It doesn't take much to help the local wildlife.
Out walking today, I saw my first male Red Mason Bee, so I came home and checked my hotel. This "forbidden peanut" is a cocoon with a bee inside. Some have already hatched but not emerged from my cavity nest box (this is a terrible photo, but there's a male there looking at me).
I was doing some maintenance work at @microwildhq a few months back, and my daughters were playing and building a 'bug hotel' (moss, twigs, and a small plank of wood) that has actually been housing a baby newt for the past month. A couple of days ago, they took in a roommate.
Megabunus diadema on the drawing board
Male Lestica clypeata found in London on 5 August 2022 - Mick Massie and I found a very fresh-looking male Lestica clypeata on Ammi. It has not been recorded in the UK since 1853. A full report will be submitted to the BWARS Newsletter @bwars2000 @LNHSoc
Today's Croatian invertebrate encounter (I went out snooping at 6.15am) was this MASSIVE centipede - possibly Scolopendra cingulata (Thanks @collieennis). About 10cm long and feisty. I was not willing to go all Coyote Peterson on this.
Some more bees and wasps from Borris, Carlow at the weekend: Andrena angustior (female and male), Lassioglossum lativentre and Priocnemis perturbator. The two bees have similar southerly distributions in Ireland and were new species for me.
We might not have the Spring weather but at least we've got the Spring harvestmen... Rileana triangularis.
A nice surprise on saturday was finding Andrena rosae at another Irish site, also in Co. Carlow. Two females were found, one was a dark specimen, the other was more typical-looking. The 'redder' female was busily foraging on Hawthorn and wasn't in the mood for being photographed!

A team of entomologists & naturalists from #NorthernIreland & #Germany have described a new species of #beetle, previously unknown to science. The “Fence-climber Twiglet Weevil” was discovered by Buglife Conservation Officer @josh_ecology Read more👇 buglife.org.uk/news/colourful…
The Cinnabar Moth (Tyria jacobaeae) spotted in the carpark of work today in Cork today.
And the final one for today ... Cephalothrips monilicornis (female, apterous form). This thrips is breeding at the base of grasses and apparently feeding on leaf tissues. Body length: 1,3mm
And a second one ... Bolothrips icarus (female, apterous form). This species is also living in dense grass tussocks and is feeding on fungi. Body length about 2mm.
First Scorpion Fly I've spotted this year. Female, doesn't have the 'stinger' tail (that the males have that don't actually sting).
I will never cease to be amused by Seven spot sexy times. 😅🐞🐞
You can literally shape this mix into any shape. Balls for pasta, oblong for wraps etc. Dip in plain coconut yoghurt swirled with sweet chilli sauce 🎉
The most 🤤 vegan burger patty recipe. Blitz a 🥕 & 🧅 until fine. Place in a large mixing bowl. Blitz 1.5 cups of soaked red lentils to a paste. Add to bowl with a tin of 🍅 paste. Add coriander seed and cumin powder. Mix & shape. Pan fry or oven bake! I coat in GF crumb too 🤓

In all the decades of caterpillar rearing, I have never seen a case of parasitoidism as extreme as this. Anyone knows what it is? On tomato today, Gainesville, FL (host - probably once was a cabbage looper). RT if you don't but want to find out.
The odd black Chrysidae is appearing Chrysis ignita agg., but because no colour, you can't quite follow the key. Barcoding may be best. @BeesOfIreland @Owen_Beckett98 @jaswboparai @BroadGavin
Nice visit to Waterford last Friday. 📍Mahon Falls.
The Comeragh Mountains did not disappoint in terms of aquatic insect life and suitable River habitat! Some Ecdyonurus mayflies collected.
@BeesOfIreland @collieennis One of the Trochosa species (eye pattern typical of Lycosidae with the two small dark marks within the front half of the pale median band on the abdomen indicating Trochosa). Likely T. terricola, or possibly spinipalpis (though that's rarely recorded in Ireland).
@BeesOfIreland @collieennis @BritishSpiders I’m no specialist, but I think it’s an Orb weaver. Collie IDd one similar one time.
Smooth snake - Schlingnatter - Coronella austriaca from a super nice dry grassland + quarry area. Thanks @BSGGoettingen for taking care of this precious habitat!
@BeesOfIreland There are many species with mottled wings so not necessarily distinctive to species level.
