You know I love the @BBC & celebrate all the things we pay our licence fee for . But yesterday whilst 100K peaceful people marched to demonstrate their love for life all I could find on @BBCNews was a selfie of the gas-guzzling @taylorswift13 . Im sorry but thats a disgrace #RestoreNatureNow

Dear @BBCNews we would like to know why you didn’t cover a major news event in #London yesterday. Between 60-100 THOUSAND people marched at the #RestoreNatureNow. It looks like you are picking what you think is newsworthy. Isn’t that called bias? Regards, British wildlife.

I’m really proud to share that our paper on the diversity of social complexity in termites has been published!!!

If you want to understand parasitoid #wasps - and why wouldn't you! - this is a great piece! Also features a paper we published in 2018 on a new #wasp species with a fun name.

Dear UK Moth recorders - please can you help Iona Cunningham-Eurich with her PhD research.
It's not about the moths but all other species found in moth traps. It would be great for her research & its not onerous :)

Calling #Moth enthusiasts! Do you operate a moth trap? If so, pls help @ionace out with her PhD, by filling in a 10 min anonymous survey.
It's all about (anon) YOU, your motivations & the #INSECTS in your trap!
@NHM_London @UCLCBER @BroadGavin
Pls RT! @RoyEntSoc @Buzz_dont_tweet
Are you a moth-trapper with a spare 10 minutes? If so, please fill in the following survey aiming to understand moth-ers and their relationship with insects in traps 🐝🦋 Please share! qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form…

🌳 Exciting News! 📚 Just published in @Nature, my first first-author paper reveals consistent patterns of common tree species across African, Amazonian, and Southeast Asian tropical forests. @uclnews @UCLgeography @UCLCBER @UniversityLeeds

Yesterday @thameswater ‘discovered’ (owned up to) 12 new sewage overflows that currently all feed into Brent Reservoir SSSI. As if we hadn’t already guessed. You can’t make this up. Take a stand. ✊🌿🦢
(Thanks for the heads up, @Feargal_Sharkey)

Fought for 2 yrs with @CoolOakGroup to help my local Brent Reservoir SSSI following years of neglect.
Today owner @CanalRiverTrust confirmed they’re preparing a 5 yr restoration plan and 30 yr stewardship plan for the fragile marshes.
Win! 🎉

First student talk of #Hymathon2023 - @ionace used citizen science to gather data on yellowjackets and improve the public image of #wasps!

And that's a wrap. Another @MscBgc and @MResBEC #BlakeneyPoint field course finished. Just hoping the boat doesn't catch fire on its way here this year! @CharlieLouO @_RachelHester @ionace @TimBlackburn66

#BlakeneyPoint looking lovely as we get near the end of this year's @MscBgc and @MResBEC field courses. @CharlieLouO @TimBlackburn66 @_RachelHester @ionace

Was a beautiful day for the Brent Reservoir Autumn Bird Count. New faces, old hands. We turned up 72 species from dawn to late afternoon. Not quite the record of 79, but a decent year. Bird of the day? This spotted flycatcher. Thanks, everyone who came.

This new #OpenAccess work by @ionace @WaspWoman @AdamHartScience @KontouD @Entomony et al. describes genetic insights into the common wasp after analysing social wasps collected by participants of the @bigwaspsurvey.
