Happy Halloween from the @NicolaNadeau lab! Thank you @vickyjlloyd for growing the pumpkin we've carved almost every year I've been part of the lab! 😊 great for boosting lab moral with @cyanandteal @BuggyLadwa (10 points to anyone who can correctly guess the species we carved😅)

Male H. sara butterflies guarding female pupae. A flying male tries to nestle his way in but has no luck. Quite interesting to see the guarding males open up their wings when he approaches and then some close them slowly as he moves on.

Lots of activity in the butterfly cage the other day, shame the video doesn't do the blue wing colours justice 🦋

Really great to see the sara stock doing well without me checking on them a million times a day 😂. This morning I spotted three freshly emerged adults, with the two females mating immediately with waiting males. #heliconius #butterfly

Is this taking #workingfromhome too far? Heliconius and passiflora stocks now set up in the spare room.
