First (but hopefully not last) scientific publication on our species inventory on #Koltur came out today. Big thanks to all our collaborators! Publicly available under: ojs.setur.fo/index.php/fr...

Always an adventure visiting our more inaccessible monitoring plots on the Northern side of #Koltur.

Elodes pseudominuta is one of the species which is more common on #Koltur than expected. We find it during July among mosses in the vicinity of small streams.

Flower visitation observations in sunny weather! Lots of #Diptera on Caltha palustris outside my office.

This Carabus hispanus was the entomological highlight during our trip to southern France in 2024 - perfect for #BlueMonday!
