Some fun days out in Yorkshire classifying soils with the Fera team. Each pit a little treasure hunt to work out the series! 🪱

Excited to have caught some parasitoid wasps (Proctotrupidae) in the midst of their emergence from a wireworm/clickbeetle larva (Elateridae) while sorting through samples today 🪲 Collected at Gibbets Close where Wychwood Forest Trust is supporting passive #rewilding of ex-agricultural land #bugsky

Sowing (lovely sunny fieldwork) in summer now followed inevitably by reaping (long days of lab work) all winter ahead
