Andrena ventralis. Added to the British list from a site in Hampshire last year. One of six British Andrena's that gather pollen entirely from Salix. The combination of red underside to gaster and white tergite flecks makes it pretty easy to identify. Thanks @JWentomologist
If your Sunday includes the company of a delicate little Spitting Spider Syctodes thoracica, please make sure you record in on the national map by sending it via our #iRecord form at irecord.org.uk/enter-srs-reco…

Your annual reminder to look out for small black sawflies on Moschatel. It's there to be found. Great spot Ellen!

Good to see several female Clarke's Mining Bees (Andrena clarkella) on the wing today. It's one of the earliest bees to emerge in the spring - find out what others are emerging now in James Power's new book THE BEES OF SUSSEX bit.ly/3PlKoX2 @SussexWildlife @SxBRC
It's officially spring! #BeeFlyWatch
Just finished adding all my 2023 plant photos to Flickr Flora of the British Isles group. This now includes pictures of most UK Sorbus whitebeam taxa. All my Flickr photos are available under a CC attribution licence flickr.com/groups/gbflowe…
I've stitched together a few clips of some of the springtails I have seen over the last few months. It's only short so give it a watch if you're interested! youtu.be/KnV7OgiS2WU
Excellent! Meet Anasaitis milesae sp. n., new to Cornwall, new to the UK, and new to science! Much Thanks to Dmitri Logunov for the help with it! wsc.nmbe.ch/refincluded/17… @BritishSpiders @cofnod @graemelyons @chalkspring @FinleyHutchins2
He was a buoy. She was a gull. Can I make it any more obvious?
And a really rather jazzy little leafhopper from the meadow, which I think is Sardius argus? @BritishBugs
A couple of nice finds today at The Lodge - first up an easy identification, with this rather duck-nosed Psyllid out of a Box bush - Spanioneura fonscolombii to its friends.
Another rainy day, so spent some time putting together the first 4 Megalonotus species - I need to spend some time looking for these this year! Over 100 species now covered at flickr.com/photos/runnerw… #Heteroptera #Insects #Bugs
Meromyza pratorum sens. str. a nice green female of this relatively distinctive sand dune specialist from @DipteristsForum summer meeting on the Gower. My latest addition to the Chloropidae UK & Ireland Flickr group flickr.com/groups/chlorop…

A well timed first for me at The Lodge RSPB today with this Orsillus depressus off a cypress in the gardens. Just in time to add to the ground bug slides😀

Chuffed to bump into the very scarce (and underrecorded) ground beetle Elaphrus lapponicus in the Cluanie munros yesterday! Part of a long day exploring, scrambling, shoe-skiing and failing to find Purple Saxifrage
Evita Muzic, Pauline Rooijakkers and Katarzyna Niewiadoma are the riders with the nairoingreen stamp of approval for today
Yesterday we had the first records for this year of Murky-legged Black Legionnaire soldierfly, Beris chalybata, in Staffs and on Jersey, the 2nd soldierfly species to be seen as an adult in 2024 (after Silver Colonel, Odontonyia argentata)
Andrena ventralis. Added to the British list from a site in Hampshire last year. One of six British Andrena's that gather pollen entirely from Salix. The combination of red underside to gaster and white tergite flecks makes it pretty easy to identify. Thanks @JWentomologist
@WillhGeorge Excellent stuff! Finding out in real time what other naturalists are seeing is still one of the best things about social media I think.
A Male and Female Cheilosia antiqua from Union Wood, Collooney, Co Sligo. Date: 13.iv.2024 both specimens swept from Willow blossom. Syrphidae species diversity low currently, in the North West of Ireland. I expect a change this weekend 17 degrees and sunny in the forecast 😎
An added bonus was that we found just the second known population of Yellow-shouldered Nomad Bee (Nomada ferruginata) in the vice-county of Glamorgan (VC41). This bee is the specialist cuckoo of the Small Sallow Mining Bee (Andrena praecox).
Fabulous day leading an @Buzz_dont_tweet oil beetle training session with @Thawproject today around Hensol Woods, Vale of Glamorgan. We were lucky enough to find at least 10 adults and LOTS of triungulins on Lesser Celandine and dandelion flowers.
A nice Troilus luridus Shieldbug, not one I see very often. 17/04/24 Tamworth @BritishBugs @rockwolf74 @StaffsWildlife @StaffsEcology #Pentatomidae #Shieldbug
Found my first work monad Box Bug - Gonocerus acuteangulatus - today! They're certainly spreading in Shropshire now!

Conops vesicularis ♂ today in Bengeo garden, magnificent hornet-mimic & largest British conopid. Vespa, Vespula & Dolichovespula queens are its presumed host. @hertsbna #Conopidae
Your annual reminder to look out for small black sawflies on Moschatel. It's there to be found. Great spot Ellen!
Amazing to find the sawfly Phymatoceropsis gracilicornis on my local Moschatel last week - a 1st for Scotland 🎉 but possibly on Moschatel everywhere! Many thanks to @andymus1 for confirming the ID 👍
Juniper Shieldbug (Cyphostethus tristriatus) from Lawson's Cypress in Kildavin, Carlow today.
Was chilly in our #Staffs garden yesterday and this male mining bee was pleased to climb onto my finger to warm-up. By the look of it, it's likely Andrena fulva - the Tawny Mining Bee. #SolitaryBees
Marsh marigold moth, micropterix calthella. A real punkhead😎I discovered up to six of these moths in a single Ranunculus acris flower. These moths do not have a proboscis but actually have mandibles. Have you ever been bitten by a butterfly? #micropterixcalthella #urmotte…
The early-spring parasitic fly Brachicheta strigata...common at Cali Heath @YorksWildlife reserve. They actively run around among the short grass and mosses, reluctant to fly often and letting you get up close. @ynuorg @DipteristsForum
A good number of these Bee Flies out today #WansteadPark Bombylius major
I think I've found Rhyzobius forestieri in North Lincolnshire. Possibly most northerly record in Britain? (If I'm right) @jewels_andrew @markhows @UKLadybirds
@Ed_P_Wildlife @WillhGeorge They are here today! I found a male and female in Staffordshire this morning on Gentleshaw Common.
