Hi @BroadGavin, a room in my house is suddenly full of ichneumon wasps (I assume from the log pile) ten or so in the last three days. Smaller males and larger females, males with white faces. I'm assuming they're impossible to ID but thought I'd ask.
Can anyone steer me to an ID with this little spider? Beaten from a pine in breckland. @BerryTylan
I recently visited a known site for Lady Clermont's Spleenwort, Asplenium x clermontiae. This hybrid between Wall-rue (A. ruta-muraria) and Maidenhair Spleenwort (A. trichomanes) is surprisingly rare, given how common the parents are, and is known from only two sites in Britain.
My MP @JeromeMayhew had the grace to meet me in 2023. With respect for one another, we differed on the Wensum Link. I am dismayed to find him a signatory to this political attack on @NaturalEngland. Its legal advice on barbastelle🦇🦇 based on hard science has been constant.

A rust on Caper Spurge, I assume Melampsora euphorbiae as that's the only UK species I can find reference to? @mattrogers70
I think I've found Rhyzobius forestieri in North Lincolnshire. Possibly most northerly record in Britain? (If I'm right) @jewels_andrew @markhows @UKLadybirds
I’m seeing this viral photo popping up all over the place at the moment. It drives me nuts because it’s usually peddled as a green solution that’s beneficial for wildlife. Firstly, these aren’t “wildflowers”. They’re not even flowers that are native to the UK. There are very few…
The Daily Moth 1,050. East Anglia is a gaping hole in the = map for Triaxomera fulvimitrella (Four-spotted Fungus Moth) - even though we have possibly suitable old-growth woods. I’ve only seen it thanks to a Welsh Clearwing lure in Sherwood Forest! #MuchAdoAboutMothing @JHM_23
Miniscule daffodil from a roadside verge. From your guide, @crawley_mick, I assume this is Narcissus minor? (Or are there other cultivars/hybrids that can be this small?)
I think the UK can learn a lot from naked mole rats.
almost totally ineffectual, there are plenty of flowers for bees and butterflies, witness the empty Buddleija butterfly bushes by the tracks, we do not need plant more damn flowers for butterflies but NATIVE foliage plants for their caterpillars to eat

Your regular reminder that 'rural communities' are overwhelmingly opposed to fox hunting and poll almost identically to urban voters on the issue. It is not a divisive issue.

In any year, 30% of sugar beet farmers choose not to use neonics even when they are allowed to do so. Join the call for the government and sugar industry to support farmers to make the transition to sustainable farming 👉 butrfli.es/47MdJRT #NoToNeonics
Please, @Mark_Spencer, say YES to happy farmers, healthy #bees, safe soils, clean waters. And NO to bee-killing poisons. My email to you today explains why. Please listen to the scientists & experts like @WildlifeTrusts ️#NoMoreNeonics #ActionForInsects #NatureFriendlyFarming

Get in losers, we're gonna bust some corset myths. A🧵 Myth 1: not necessarily in so many words but visual! In the gif below we see a woman self-cinching a corset with, apparently, no chemise underneath (to protect the corset from sweat and to protect the skin from chafing)...
Woke up to a lot of notifications on that historical beauty tweet and I'm kinda wondering if I should do a corset mythbusting post later (Maybe starting with what's wrong with this gif?)
Stopped off to see the suckering European White-elms (Ulmus laevis) found by @Lophophanes. A new one for the #urbanflora and me! 😁🌳
Evolutionary history is full of 'seconds' - secondarily aquatic lineages, secondarily flightless lineages - but they seem to struggle with counting further. Water>land>water is common, but water>land>water>land is to my knowledge unheard of. Anyone know of an exception?
Telling Aphanes arvensis (left) from A. australis (right) is all about the teeth at the tip of the calyx (x20). If the teeth are spreading, so the flower looks star-shaped from above, you have arvensis. If the teeth are upright (so the flower is barrel-shaped) that's australis.
I found this fungal plant pathogen on Elder in Blaise Woods today but haven't been able to identify it yet. The fuzzy violet-grey patches on the leaf undersides were quite distinctive. Any suggestions? 🤔 @BritMycolSoc #TwitterNatureCommunity
Nailed it - Ramularia sambucina! Looking forward to seeing Cercospora depazeoides later in the year.
About a decade ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in honour of Shakespeare's birthday, here's what I found. 🧵
A phenomenon so rare in Britain that all our native languages have no word for it, is the space on a mountain between a cliff face and the receding summer snow pack. In German it is known as randkluft. On the 30 August 2015 I visited one of the best examples, on Ben Macdui.
