Morning all, @entoarron has produced this Hemiptera colouring in sheet. So you can learn about some true bugs and do some colouring in at the same time. @StaffsInverts @ConopsEnto @bugbotherer @SUBioscience @StaffsEcology @amentsoc @BritishBugs facebook.com/pg/staffsbugfes…
Thanks for coming, and the positive comments @JDRowe0!
Some fantastic exhibits at the #staffsbugfest today. Really good to see so many getting interested in science and ecology. Thank you @StaffsInverts @sisf_20

This is such a sad week for Staffordshire conservation. Roger was an enormous figure and knew the county like no other. He will be missed not only for his vaste knowledge but his charm and witt. I’ll miss him greatly. @SISF_2020 @StaffsInverts

We quickly need two more people to make my @BlencathraFSC bee ID course viable. Anybody want a bespoke training course by author of the 2015 field guide to bees of Britain and Ireland? Fantastic location. Details here: field-studies-council.org/in…
