today was a #bugs and birds day in the garden! i've been taking part in the #bigbutterflycount so it was great to see three species today - a red admiral, meadow brown, and a large white butterfly (which flew too quickly to get a decent picture of!) i also spotted a #forficula #earwig and a load of #bumblebees enjoying the clovers in the sun ☀️

Today, Laura Pasquier (not on Mastodon) presented her PhD project on the effects of #pesticides on #parentalCare in #earwigs in front our our institute
It was a great talk followed by a great discussion!
Looking forwards to talk more about the first (exciting) results! 🤯

Today, I am in Valence (FR) to talk to arborists about #earwigs and explain why using pesticides against them is not a good idea. An exemple of how fundamental/basic science can help agriculture!
