Just finished laying out the Stiletto Flies section of #FliesofBritainandIreland - the Coastal Silver-stiletto and the Common Stiletto are 2 of the 14 species of the photogenic Therividae family @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1 @flygirlNHM @DipteristsForum
@EarthDay Its not just bees that are important pollinators, flies are too - this Blotch-winged Hoverfly (Leucozona lucorum) gets stuck-in on a Ramsons flower @BBOWT's Whitecross Green Wood, nr Bicester #Flies0fBritainandIreland @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1 @flygirlNHM
Tesco nature spotting 🛒🐞
My first sighting of a male Cheilosia chrysocoma this year @BBOWT's Dry Sandford Pit, nr Abingdon. #FliesofBritainandIreland Must look for it at Chilswell Valley nr Oxford as it's often seen there as well. A great mimic of Tawny Mining Bee @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1
Evelyn Cheesman #DiedOnThisDay in 1969. She was a British entomologist and traveller who collected over 70,000 specimens on her travels. Solanum cheesmaniae, a species of a wild tomato is named in her honour. Click on our link to learn more about her. nhm.ac.uk/discover/lucy-…

I might be wrong (experts @gailashton @DominicCouzens what do you reckon?) but perhaps this is an Alder leaf beetle party? I mean, it’s certainly a beetle party. #Hatch
The new guide (in preparation) to #FliesofBritainandIreland is looking good Genuinely excited for this publication. 🪰🦟😎

Having some fun sorting out pix for the back cover illustration for our photographic guide to #FliesofBritainandIreland in prep for publication in Autumn 2025 @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1 @flygirlNHM @BBOWT @DipteristsForum
Love this book so much. #StubbsDrake @BritEntSoc #flies
Honey bee, bumblebee & wasp or hoverflies? Brilliant mimicry helps protect these 3 hoverflies from predators - left-right Eristalis tenax, Pocota personata & Chrysotoxum cautum #FliesofBritainandIreland @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @BBOWT
All my images of living Empididae now on Flickr. Afraid it's only a tiny proportion of the 207 British species (and nearly all Empis species) but hoping 1 or 2 might make the new @NatureBureau fly guide: flickr.com/photos/6307520…. Will try to get lots of new images this spring.
Pasque flowers taking a beating in the wind today in Hertfordshire. #wildflowerhour
@gailashton @NatureBureau @StevenFalk1 @flygirlNHM @HMWTBadger @DipteristsForum Its face reminded me of someone, then it hit me. Dori from the Hobbit films. There's something very fantasy dwarfish about Myopa. Stocky, hirsute, spoiling for a jab at something, springing up from out the ground!
This Plain-winged Conopid’s (Myopa testacea) left wing didn’t inflate properly after eclosion. Unable to fly, it can only watch as bees zip busily around it. Swipe for a close up of its fabulous conopidy face. #FliesOfBritainAndEurope @NatureBureau @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1
The cutest lil cuckoo bee in my garden yesterday. Gooden’s Nomad Bee (Nomada goodeniana) @HMWTBadger

Was deep into talking about hawthorn nerdery & why it was seen as deathy by ancient folk for my workshops but suddenly a cuckoo starts calling & I forget what the hell I was talking about bc this bird is now RARE & it’s such an evocative gorgeous sound. SOUND UP 🔈🪶:
@NatureBureau @StevenFalk1 @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @flygirlNHM @DipteristsForum More than happy for it to be included, who shall I send a copy to?
The scent of Wild Garlic was heavy on an overcast day in the Wyre Forest & these 2 craneflies were hunkered down amongst its leaves - Tipula submarmorata (left) & Tipula vittata (right) #FliesofBritainandIreland @WorcsWT @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1 @flygirlNHM
@NatureBureau @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @flygirlNHM @DipteristsForum Fantastic. I got some nice shots of Northern Silver Stiletto in 2022. It inhabits some gorgeous places.
@StevenFalk1 @NatureBureau @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @flygirlNHM @DipteristsForum My favourite of the Therevidae has to be Pandivirilia melaleuca but would love to see the northern species at some point.
This is one of the UK's rarest animals, the scarce yellow sally stonefly - Isogenus nubecula. They're only known from a few sites in North Wales along the River Dee although they used to be far more widespread. Donate here to help save them! donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…
Just finished laying out the Stiletto Flies section of #FliesofBritainandIreland - the Coastal Silver-stiletto and the Common Stiletto are 2 of the 14 species of the photogenic Therividae family @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1 @flygirlNHM @DipteristsForum
Lunchtime walk up and back along the loop with Rosie - Red Kite with Buzzards over the garden, singing Chiffchaff, Reed Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat and - bizarrely - a lone Great White Egret standing on a wheel field - sent packing by gulls and crows!
@EarthDay Its not just bees that are important pollinators, flies are too - this Blotch-winged Hoverfly (Leucozona lucorum) gets stuck-in on a Ramsons flower @BBOWT's Whitecross Green Wood, nr Bicester #Flies0fBritainandIreland @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1 @flygirlNHM
Dear @EarthDay - I am on your side but this is one of the many reasons we want people to look at the insects...(this is NOT a bee) Yes, this is a very important pollinator but for some reason no one wants to admit how good FLIES are at doing this....
Nice to be out with the Herts Invertebrate Project for the first outing of the season on @HMWTBadger Hertford Heath. Weather limited our list a bit but there is always something to see and lots to learn from each other. Thanks to @gailashton for photographing me in the wild.
One of the Male Orange Tip #Butterflies keeps flying back to its territory in my sister @SarahButterfli's #butterfly #garden & lands on the Garlic Mustard (one of the caterpillar foodplants) 🥚🐛🥐🦋 #learning #conservation @savebutterflies @BCWarwickshire @WKWT @Team4Nature
Happy #Friday everyone! Look out for those Orange Tip #Butterflies 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋#Butterfly #learning #Lepidopterist
Another interesting fly seen yesterday at @BBOWT's Dry Sandford Pit, nr Abingdon - a picture-winged fly Otites guttatus sunning itself on a gatepost #FliesofBritainandIreland @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1 @TVERC1 @DipteristsForum
Bumblebee expert and @BumblebeeTrust founder @DaveGoulson will be providing an overview of @The_Buzz_Club Citizen Science Virtual Symposium. More info and booking: eventbrite.co.uk/e/773643988997
Last year @jones44832 and I had 8 days surveying insects in Upper Deeside between Muir of Dinnet NNR and Mar Lodge Estate. The report describing where we went and the circa 600 species we found can be found here: researchgate.net/publication/37…
My first sighting of a male Cheilosia chrysocoma this year @BBOWT's Dry Sandford Pit, nr Abingdon. #FliesofBritainandIreland Must look for it at Chilswell Valley nr Oxford as it's often seen there as well. A great mimic of Tawny Mining Bee @gailashton @Ecoentogeek @StevenFalk1
