Looks good for it Lisa, I've seen a few the last couple of weeks 👍🏼

Oh god, "Statistics with R" is giving me nightmare flashbacks 🤣

What a beauty! 😍

Lots of bee flies out in the sun every day so far this week 😊

Yes 😃

Looks like it could be, I thought Sitona first, but I struggle a little with photos 😅

I've always thought that unless it's part of a working collection, or voucher specimens, or a museum collection then it's a bit like trophy hunting. Certainly wouldn't buy anything online.

Important thread! I hate to see this happening. Unacceptable 😡🥺🪲

That's an impressive looking beast 😊

Another one for Salticidae Sunday. Evarcha falcata Highgate Common, Staffs, UK (21/08/2016)

Happy Salticidae Sunday! Here is a Menemerus semilimbatus from Southern Portugal (17/04/2018)

A close up of a small bright blue butterfly in short sward grass.

One of the highlights of my year was seeing the striking Adonis blue (Polyommatus bellargus) across a few sites in Folkestone (05/06/2024). Photos really don't do it justice.

Fantastic photo!! also.. your beanie is just 👌 😂

Wow, that's a beauty

Hi Peter, me too, I did my undergrad at Staffs and absolutely loved it, It's been very sad to watch the demise of the biological sciences department and then rounds of job cuts. I hope things improve.

Wow that's amazing 🦊

#Facepalm 🤦

Turns out i'm very very much better at reading reports than writing them 😟

I have a magnet on a string on my desk to deal with floor pins 😊

Is it re-usable? 😁

Oh wow! he's a very handsome boy! 😻

Genus Notosacantha tortoise beetle

One of the craziest beetles I've ever seen, genus Notosacantha

📍Madagascar

#Entomology #Coleoptera

wow!!

Well there's not much left of that 😂, I'm guessing it used to be a Rutpela maculata?

I did not have snow on my bingo card today 😵‍💫

I do now feel 18.7% improved 👍

Surprisingly it's not a beetle, but the first time I went to portugal with my camera I remember being blown away by Zerynthia rumina. Still one of my absolute favourites.

Jürgen is all of us entomologists 😂 still love this moment! #gbbo
