Our next webinar in our Sussex Research Series!
Dr. Ciaran Harris will be discussing how the honeybee can inform us about the seasons of the year that contain shortages of nectar or pollen. He will also explore how this information can improve our efforts to help bees & other pollinators.

How many crocuses have you planted this year?
Thanks for such a lovely review 😍
Such an adorable talk this was: Earwigs don't go back to earwig hotels because of the quality, but instead if an earwig is currently happy inside and releasing pheromones ie, "currently giving it a good review" others in range will visit it. 😂

It’s tonight!! Come and join us for an earwig evening!
Earwi’GO! ran from 2021 – 2024, focusing on making earwig ‘hotels’ (day time shelters) from easily-available materials. Join us for the Earwi’GO! retrospective, where our volunteers encounter record heatwaves, slug sabotage, wandering wiglets and the distracting allure of rattan lamps

Another fun find for our Bug Bunkers Project - O. villosa is one of the largest springtails in the UK, reaching up to 5mm in length.
We now have recorded 7375 individual invertebrates as part of this survey - and still one month to go!
Thanks to Sabina George for this photo.

Who knew a barkfly nymph could be so adorable!?
A find from our Bug Bunkers project by Harriet & Tej - thanks 😍
Barkflies are an important part of your garden ecosystem - they make tasty snacks for predatory insects, spiders and some birds!

Over 60 webinars in, which entoLIVEs have proven most popular? It seems that 🐝subjects attract the most live attendees, but less popular groups do better in the long-run. Interesting.

Our latest research finds pet flea treatments (fipronil and imidacloprid) in 100% of blue tit and great tit nests, with nestling mortality higher in the more contaminated nest. @SongBirdSBS @SussexUni @CannelleTassin

Great to hear that this bug bunkers find has sparked a local efforts to support glow worms by:
⭐️improving habitat for the mating season
⭐️ to make a more coordinated record of this species in the area.
Thanks to all involved!
