I was quite taken by this beautiful little Stigmella tityrella mine in a beech leaf this weekend. The 'green island' is caused by the caterpillar delaying senescence by manipulating cytokinin levels, probably with the assistance of symbiotic bacteria!

The wait is over! The Bumblebees of North East England is out now. A first of its kind, it provides an overview of the 22 #bumblebee species found here. This was only possible with the data submitted by you recorders. Well done everyone! bit.ly/36ZaBCc @NEE_Naturalist

With the CBS project at an end, we want to say a HUGE thank you to all our volunteers, & everyone who gave time to the project. Without you, we would never have achieved as much as we did in 5 years. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Happy invertebrate hunting! 🕷️🦋🐌🐞🐝
