Every year I try to repurpose #BlueMonday (which we all know is a load of 💩) and advocate for #insects by showcasing some beautiful BLUE BUGS!

Please join me by sharing your photos or artwork with the hashtag #BlueBugs 🦋🩵

Ooh, I didn't realise that @ptes-org.bsky.social have a 'map your log pile' bit of citsci going on (in relation to Great Stag Beetle Hunt, but the habitat is generally brill for wood boring beetles etc); need to incorporate that into my habitat stuff!

stagbeetles.ptes.org/map-your-log...
Map your log pile - Stag Beetles
Map your log pile, log pyramid, or tree stump on this simple survey so we can build a picture of habitats for stag beetles across the country

Alfred Russel Wallace FRS was born #OnThisDay in 1823. He independently conceived of the theory of evolution by natural selection and his work prompted Darwin to publish 'On the Origin of Species'. Wallace laid the foundations of modern biogeography.

Our petition to #EndPeatSales is starting off 2026 with 6000 signatures! How timely...

But we need 10k signatures before we take peat sales to Downing Street this February.

Can you share with 3 people who haven't signed yet?

No more delays: Let's get peat out of gardens once and for all. The time for uncertainty has ended.

Bee hotels range from simple drilled logs to concrete blocks and multi-chamber wooden setups. Each design has pros and cons such as durability and maintenance. Do you use any at home, and what style have you gone for?
