Some touching recent feedback from a reader of "#Pollinators & Pollination: #Nature and Society":
"[telling stories is]...one of the special things that makes your writing so wonderful and interesting (as well as incredibly informative and accessible)"
That kind of comment makes the hard work of book writing worthwhile!

Plenty of egg box roosting in the moth trap overnight. Catalogued, photographed and safely released to carry on their mothy business. Some of the nicer ones included:
1) Feathered Ranunculus
2) Nutmeg
3) Grey/Dark Dagger
4) Silver Y

my first week in #aberdeen ☀️ i'm sure the weather won't stay like this, but it's been lovely being able to get out and explore, and more importantly see some of the wildlife!
1. venus fly traps in the winter gardens @ duthie park
2. my old pals the seals at newburgh beach
3. my first peacock (aglais io) butterfly in the wild @ stonehaven!
4. showing my family around the zoology museum at uni

New on Entomology Today: In arid ecosystems, cacti are often primary resources for insects and arthropods that depend on dead or decaying wood. A new review explores this relationship and its ecological implications. #entomology #insects #desert #cactus https://entomologytoday.org/2023/09/06/desert-decomposers-insects-thrive-dead-decaying-cacti/

Busy native bee with a large stash of yellow pollen under its abdomen. Looks like pixie dust.

Despite appearances, this photo wasn’t taken in a studio, but on a late afternoon walk with the sun low on the horizon and no flash at all: the sun was my flash, shining on from under my camera.
Siphona sp. (tentative ID) http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/181805824

Excuse me, is this the way out of the nest?
Male ant, looking—as usual—like it got out of the bus at the wrong stop. http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/181806261
