Things spotted in the field today: brown mint leaf beetle, 16 spot ladybird and hooray CSFB. More CSFB tips day with the warmth, in fact 5x more than I found on Wednesday….are they coming?
Great to see this #CSFB in the field today. Hoping for an influx over the next few days so we can up the feeding damage for scoring!
Lovely conference dinner @ice2024kyoto_jp
Now stuck in Kyoto due to typhoon cancelling bullet train. Need to be at Hanaeda airport, Tokyo early on Sat.
Any suggestions much appreciated!!!

When UK self-sufficiency in vegetable oil has more than halved from 40% to 15% within the space of a decade, and when Ministers insist that "food security is national security", where is the Government’s response to the decimation of the UK's oilseed crop?

The latest results from @AHDB_Cereals funded CSFB monitoring are in! The highest recorded cumulative number is still at the Suffolk site but the Kent and Yorkshire sites are slowly catching up. For regular updates visit ahdb.org.uk/csfb
Found the best little tempura restaurant after my talk yesterday. Great to have pals from RRes join us. @SamCook_IPM is behind the camera!
Tonight…..a ramen adventure! (More photos of happy scientists with food may follow 😂)
Thank you to everyone who stayed around for my talk at 6pm @ice2024kyoto_jp
Was really nice to present some of our groups work with #CSFB
Some serious origami at @ice2024kyoto_jp
Definitely beyond my skill level, some of these are made out of only 1 square of paper!
Well done @The_Bugsitter for an excellent talk in the 11th International Symposium on Chrysomelidae @ice2024kyoto_jp
Photos not allowed in the session but you can’t get away without evidence of presentation at an international conference so as authors we will share this one!
