I found some #underappreciatedthings. One was a dying #Asianhornet. Despite the bad press an extremely beautiful beast. It is dead now, poor thing, of natural causes. Will try to see if I can preserve it tomorrow. The other is a community of #cyanobacteria called #nostoc commune. The Blob!

First ever Irish nest of the #AsianHornet located.
Since this initial discovery, Dr O’Hanlon has been helping the National Parks and Wildlife Service rangers on-site in their efforts to monitor and ultimately track down the hornet’s nest.
