Not just honeybees, native bees are also vulnerable to pesticides. Unlike honeybees, nobody is assessing the potential risks on native bees. This study is doing that.
Huge congratulations to Dr. Sabrina Rondeau on winning the Ecology & Environment category of the Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. Read more about her impactful research in "Digging below the surface: hidden risks for ground-nesting #bees": www.science.org/doi/full/10....

I love painting insects. Insects just do their own thing, blissfully unaware of the intricacies of humanity. Their world is a quiet one that is beautiful to observe.

Feeling nostalgic, thinking it's time to post some old favorites for the BlueSky community >>>
One of the most stunning #flies (maybe insects in general) I've seen: #Leucotabanus annulatus, a horse fly (Tabanidae). Males are naturally white, while females are a bit more drab gray/brown. Raleigh, NC

Super interesting 🧐
If I had to pick favorites, dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) would win.
(Aside: I have a paper in press about BC Odonata… stay tuned.)
If you like odonates too, this @ologies.bsky.social episode with @jessicalwarelab.bsky.social is a must-listen.
