I don’t wish to be so presumptuous that people wish to follow me but I like several others have made the jump to BSKY.social. Hope to see you there.
What a massive beautiful and rare veteran Field Maple. Nottinghamshire.
Haliplus mucronatus, a rather attractive haliplid and a bit of a beast compared to other UK species. Gwent Levels. @ColSocBI
Ilybius fuliginosus, be it puddle, pond, lake margin, stream or river, this little beast finds its way into the net. Probably the most catholic in terms of habitat of all UK water beetles. Oh, and it’s a bit of a looker as well with its beautiful bicoloured elytra. @ColSocBI
You’ve got to love a Platystethus cornutus. Pretty common but a quality Staph all the same. @ColSocBI #Staphylinidae
Metoecus paradoxus. Mid-October, a little late in the season but not unheard of. @ColSocBI North-east Derbyshire garden.
Very common but very nice, the golden hairs on the inside femur and tibia really glow on the riffle beetle Limnius volckmari. @ColSocBI #Elmidae
Metoecus paradoxus, North-east Derbyshire garden, this morning. Garden usually has three wasps nests, this year only one nest so pleasantly surprised to see this beetle this year. @ColSocBI
Orectochilus villosus, the Hairy Whirligig, from my last survey of 2024. Midlands river. @ColSocBI
Colletes hederae out and about yesterday, Not a lot of Ivy flower around most having gone well past its best here in Nottinghamshire. #Bee #Hymenoptera
Tricky pair of Zopheridae, very subtle differences difficult to describe for comparison. On the left Synchita variegata, on the right Synchita undata. If it’s on Beech good bet it’s variegata, on Sycamore undata. @ColSocBI #Saproxylic #Coleoptera #Zopheridae
A rather cold Viviparous Lizard, north Notts heathland earlier today.
Digital Rod Licence has meant the extinction of one of life’s small pleasures, the artwork of David Miller no longer in my wallet. #fishing #Angling
Proper birders out there. Is it unusual to still see swallows feeding young in their nest in the last week of September? Noticed this today in South Yorkshire.
I’ve been particularly unobservant for several decades and only just noticed this rather large spine on the rear tibia of a relatively common beetle. Give yourself a pat on the back if you can name it! @ColSocBI
