Have you ever seen such a strikingly-coloured bumblebee? 🤩 The beautiful Bombus kashmirensis is found in the Himalayas - the birthplace of bumblebees! This is just one of the species you can learn about at our exciting event this Sunday. 📷 - Paul Williams @BumblebeeTrust

By collaborating with the @Hines_Lab and @PaulWilliamsNHM, we deciphered the evolutionary history of the most colorful bumblebee mimicry complex in southeast Asia. Our study is just published on Science Advances, and more excitingly, our bee is on the COVER! @ScienceAdvances
While much of the research on Müllerian mimicry has focused on neotropical butterflies, scientists now use high-resolution genome-wide SNP markers to untangle the evolutionary history of two mimetic species of bumblebees. Learn more in this week’s issue: scim.ag/7iE

The student conference @NHM_Students is a great platform to deliver updates on our science. @zichenzhouzhou gave an excellent presentation on #Staphylinidae biodiversity based on multi-hierarchical molecular data 🧬 🪲

Terrestrial isopods 💕 cuteness overload Compared to terrestrial ones, their aquatic relatives are really bizarre and crazy looking, and I’ll do another piece for them!

Behold, the beautiful Blue-banded Bee! 🐝💙 Sitting ever so delicately on my finger, it is a great opportunity to appreciate the hard-work these native bees do in pollinating and keeping our eco-systems healthy! 🌳 Have you ever been lucky enough to see a bee of the Amegilla genus buzzing around flowers? 🌸 With over 70 species worldwide, they come in a variety of different colours, but the blue-banded species really stand out! 💙 This is a Northern Blue-banded Bee (Amegilla walkeri) which is only found in the monsoonal tropics of north-western Australia! ☀️ Keep your eyes out for these fast moving bees, especially on purple flowers! 🪻
