Fascinating to watch Spider-hunting wasps in action @BritishSpiders
Fascinating to watch Spider-hunting wasps in action @BritishSpiders
One of those rare days yesterday where everything we set out to look for (and more) was there...

Hi I think this is Ctenophora flaveolata? Not seen it before- is it common?! @ConopsEnto @TheDetermin8or @gbankbirds
Found a nice trio of wetland specialist ladybirds today. Clockwise from left Water, Red Marsh and Spotted Marsh Ladybirds. Stoke Park, Bristol.
What perfect little creatures Pseudoscorpions are. Here's Neobisium carcinoides which I found hanging out in a grass tussock today.
Great field trip to @BBOWT Snelsmore Common today with @UniRdg_Ento. There aren't many groups of people that can get this excited about a particularly productive pile of horse manure.
Heads in nets! MSc Entomology students sampling the diverse insect fauna of the @UniofReading campus (re)wilding patch earlier this week.
What a treat this week to see the UK's largest jumping spider, the Fencepost Jumping Spiders (Marpissa muscosa) at the @avonwt Grow Wilder site. The range of this species has slowly been expanding westwards, so it's quite exciting to now find them in Bristol.
This gorgeous adult male Araniella opisthographa is slightly blushing and wouldn't you, if your face balls were on show to the whole world! 😏😎 #TurnFear2Fascination #LoveSpiders
The caterpillar of the fruit-piercing moth has evolved a unique defense against potential predators: it overwhelms them with the sudden realization that they are but another drifting speck in a vast, beautiful, bewildering cosmos 📷 Arabinda Pal bit.ly/38u2AeL
This "Knob-head", Hybocoptus corrugis is a Nationally Scarce species and at only 1.5mm an absolute pain in the bum to photograph! It's a new record for Gloucestershire but extremely abundant on the graveyard yew trees that I found it on. #TurnFear2Fascination #LoveSpiders
Excited to have confirmed that we have a population of the very rare Philodromus buxi here in Bristol. Only rediscovered by @ecology_digest in the UK in 2014 and only known from the London area until now. Thanks to @Tone_Killick for raising this one through and nailing the ID.
I've had papers published in New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet and been called a boffin by The Sun, but I'm most proud of this article in the latest @BritishSpiders newsletter.
So pleased to have won this. It's great to get some recognition for the 100s of hours our volunteer group has put into looking after this little wildlife oasis over the last few years.

Craving more #jumpingspider research?? Check out this fresh paper from the Shamble Lab by Ava Chen, Kris Kim and Paul Shamble published in @CurrentBiology today! Not just their behavior, but also their silk is AMAZING! Video by Paul Shamble sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@gbankbirds near the nature reserve but still in the cemetery on the Royate Hill side
Just spotted either a Marsh or Willow Tit at #GreenbankCemetery #BS5
I can't help but make this Trochosa spinipalpis... but there is a shred of doubt. @cofnod
Great to spend a day birding with @gbankbirds and @wild_past 👌
Had a clear out of my office and found some of the first invertebrate projects I worked on. The evaluation of Highgate common to help get it designated as a SSSI is still my proudest work moment.
We've been working through some beetles in our care collected in the 1920s by Burt, who we think was an academic at what was then University College, Reading. Today we found these beautiful Ampedus sanguinolentus (a click beetle), labelled 'given by Canon Fowler' 1/3
@LevParikian This moth was quite honestly one of the best things that happened! Happy 2024 to you 🙂
Brent flypast. Shortly after 30 Eider had flown close in the other way, looking vibrant against the grey clouds and sea. Gorgeous still afternoon by the Solent.
Carol singing on the canal bridge and in the streets yesterday. Our community is very special (see if you can spot me!)
@gbankbirds I just went through some older pictures of not-yet identified spiders. Seems I have been finding them for a while but had not recognised them. 😅
It seems I have now found a male now too.
A large money spider feeding on a springtail in my Bristol garden tonight. I thought she would be easy to identify but it's more difficult than expected. Could it perhaps be the not yet described Megalepthyphantes sp. ''near collinus''? @BritishSpiders

Peak season for the Horrid Ground Weaver Nothophantes horridus now, I found 13 one day this week only 180 have ever been seen in the world! This money spider has so far only been found in Plymouth, Devon in a handful of limestone quarries
Today, I have been mostly identifying bees and wasps. #InvertebrateSurveys @CIEEMnet
