New research by Michael Pocock and colleagues finds that "Nature-based citizen science is more than just a way to gather environmental data: it benefits well-being and nature connectedness of participants, and (when in combination with noticing nature activities) pro-nature conservation behaviours."

The Pill Millipede, Glomeris marginata. Somewhat similar to pill woodlice (Armadillidium spp) but each segment has two pairs of legs rather than one. Also the terminal segment is one section rather than a series of overlapping plates. Litcham Common Norfolk.

Not my best photo, but a wonderful find of a Phoenix Fly (Dorycera graminum) in my local London park from earlier this year.

A nice surprise during validation work at waarneming.nl: a record of the rare mason wasp Odynerus reniformis in 2011! Only Dutch sighting since 1980.

This striking species has sadly disappeared from many European regions.

Discoveries like this make validation work worth the effort :)

Is there a collective noun for a group of botanists? 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

A fab first meeting of our new recording group today. Smiles all around and plenty to see (including several new plants for the planty VCRs present!) 🌱

Like many, I'm new here, so maybe an ?

I'm a mature student & just completed a BSc at the Open University. My final project involved modelling habitat suitability for the Northern Brown Argus in the Borders to determine the impact of land use change.

Now I'm studying Biological Recording at MMU, digging into how we collect and manage biological data and building up field ID skills - especially
