In a story of research and remembrance, our former Curator of Entomology, Dr Dmitri Logunov has written a blog post on his description of a species of jumping spider which he named and dedicated to our dearly missed colleague, Claire Miles (1958-2023). entomologymanchester.wordpress.com/2024/03/05/fro…
Scientists of the world accessing data about millions of natural collection specimens at the click of a button. Not a dream anymore! @NHM_Digitise has secured £155 mill for digitisation across the UK! Big victory for @DiSSCoUK and the @DiSSCoEU community: dissco.eu/dissco-uk-fund…
The digitisation of butterflies and other historic specimens @NHM_London could help scientists prevent future pandemics and support biodiversity 🦋 Our £473 million investment into research will allow our brightest minds to thrive & build a more prosperous UK 🇬🇧
Great news! @NHM_Digitise to lead new national programme to digitise UK’s natural science collections. @Nat_SCA will collaborate with NHM & project partners to support organisations to engage with digitisation opportunities. natsca.org/dissco-update
I’m pleased to be able to finally share this NEW RESOURCE we have created! ‘Caring for entomology collections’ provides an introduction to the management of insect collections: 📌 nms.ac.uk/EntomologyTrai… Hopefully useful for students & citizen scientists, as well as museums 🪲
Still time to apply for our 2024 Undergraduate Bursary Scheme! Receive £3000 stipend + free accommodation + hands-on experience at a museum of natural history. Open to UK students from underrepresented backgrounds. Applications close at noon on 22 Feb. oumnh.web.ox.ac.uk/undergraduate-…
Your biological records can help ‘measure the health’ of insects in the UK. Get involved in biological recording to help scientists better understand insects and where they live. Learn more about #BiologicalRecording: insectweek.org/discover-insec… @iRecordWildlife
It’s been buzzing in entomology this week! The team hosted the Insect Collection Managers group for their annual meeting and a tour of the collections. 🪲🐝🪰 Find out more about the group ➡️ @InsectManagers

Do you know a kid interested in nature, science, or natural history museums? @meganbarkdull_ @ColleenEcology @MoniquePipkin and I wrote a fun paper for @FrontiersIn Young Minds titled "Natural History Collections: What Are They and Why Do We Need Them?" kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Anyone want to help transcribing this label?? Need knowledge of Iranian places and terrible writing
This week, Science #Barbie came to visit the Natural Sciences team @NtlMuseumsScot We discussed the importance of museum collections and shared some of our precious pink specimens with her! 💕 #Barbenheimer #BarbieMovie 🧵[1/9]
The entomologist Richard Siddoway Bagnall was born #OnThisDay in 1884 Our digitiser, Louise became interested in Bagnall while taking pictures of his Thrips or Thysanoptera slides – he has very distinctive handwriting so his labels are easy to pick out.
Demonstrating the benefits of providing access to our #InsectCollections A returned loan from Acrididae expert Charles Rowell. Newly identified specimens and a bonus new species awaiting publication! #SmallOrders #taxonomy #MuseumCollections
🧵(1/3) William Sharp was a British entomologist best known for his work The Coleoptera of Lancashire & Cheshire (1908) & Common Beetles of our Countryside (1916). His collection of c20,000 beetles was sadly destroyed in WWII when Liverpool World Museum was bombed
Mexican #beetles on my mind! Wish I could return to @lab_zaragoza & identify all these little Lebiine beauties! As part of my PhD research ALL the genus Lebia have been imaged & transcribed by me & @NHM_Digitise to help us understand beetles better! data.nhm.ac.uk/search

Bee kind. Leave the Dandelions to bloom. So many insects benefit from them, like this Red Mason bee (Osmia bicornis). 🌼💚 #InternationalDayoftheDandelion #WildflowerHour #NoMow
Masters of tiny wasps! It was an absolute pleasure to host the Stone Lab for a visit to the collection this morning, including the brilliant @ymilesz! 😁

I’m pleased to be able to finally share this NEW RESOURCE we have created! ‘Caring for entomology collections’ provides an introduction to the management of insect collections: 📌 nms.ac.uk/EntomologyTrai… Hopefully useful for students & citizen scientists, as well as museums 🪲
Do you enjoy wacky and weird tales from the natural world? Our curator of entomology @AshWhiffin appears on Episode 2 of @MeganMcCubbin and @jamesEGstevens's new podcast. 🐸 Available now on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Spotify.
It’s officially live! The first 2 episodes of #TheFrogsBollocks podcast is there for you to enjoy on all major streaming platforms. Hope you love it 😁 Here’s the link for Spotify: spotify.link/07OGXH8j9Hb
Then @AshWhiffin showed #Barbie some of her favourite pink moths; the Elephant Hawk-moth and the Small Elephant Hawk-moth. Barbie learnt about specimen data, & that having many examples of the same species is incredibly useful for studying changes in species over time. [5/9]
5th Ent. Coll. Management workshop, co-sponsored by @EntCollNet & @SysEB_Entsoc, has concluded & our students (26 in-person; 25 virtual) are all headed home to apply what they've learned. Thanks to @LepanusLady, @emmy_outside & @nsaxton55 for being such great hosts at @goCMNH!
That time I hosted #Barbie at work…

Entomological inspiration past & present. 🦋 Wonderful to see two amazing people who have been a huge inspiration to me & my moth ventures in today's @TheScotsman: Alice Blanche Balfour and @AshWhiffin. 🧵1/4
Alice Balfour (1850-1936) was an accomplished Scottish Lepidopterist, based in East Lothian 🏴 🦋 She contributed many significant observations on moths, shared ideas with eminent scientists and published some of her findings. #WomenInScience [2/4]
