#dyslexia #science. The lecturer said to me, "I did not know insects had morals". He pointed to the word "morality" in my report, but I was still confused. He said, "I think you meant insect mortality".

#FallArmyworm overwinters in New Zealand and infestation of invasive armyworm pest has more than doubled since January stuff.co.nz/business/farmi…

🦋🐛🐜🐝🪲🐞 After three years, today 1st March the Verrall Day organised by Royal Entomological Society happened again at Natural History Museum. Proud & happy seeing 'my 🦋🐛children' growing into successful Entomologists #VerrallLecture23 #VerrallSupper Anna Sophie Ledger Ruth Carter James Fage

Had a fabulous three days with this lovely lot! Thank you ENVISION for allowing us to host this years student conference here Rothamsted Research - it’s been great hearing about all their amazing projects 😊

Next for #InsectWeek23 Ruth Carter answered our questions the 'pest' she could...🧵⬇️ Insect Week Royal Entomological Society Lancaster Environment Centre

Any advice on how to mark individual #caterpillars for an experiment? I have previously marked aphids, but I can't remember my method. #entomology needs to be non-toxic and not release too many volatiles

Really pleased to see our review on best practices for insect olfactometer experiments published today! This has been three years in the making and wouldn't have been completed without major contributions from Tom Pope , Ed (diffuse prior) Harris and Dr Ben Clunie. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ee…

Just remember the #disabled butterfly can still fly 🦋 #entomology

Excited to be at the Royal Entomological Society Rothamsted Research sustainable agriculture special interest group meeting today #SusAg23

Gooseneck barnacles a highlight of this mornings Harper Adams University #wildlife and #zoology field course. Porth Dafarch, #Anglesey. Had to make do with other invertebrates in place of limited insect activity!

It's fascinating to watch the UK Global Food Security Summit online today (ukglobalfoodsecuritysummit.com) #FoodSecurity reminds me of the bigger picture of my PhD 🌾

I'm at the international Congress of biological control in Costa Rica. The first talk is about one health and using competitive snails to control intermediate hosts of schistosomiasis🐌

Using photo/olfactory receptors, odorant proteins, contact chemosensory and detoxification enzymes to shortlist biological control agents for specialist to improve biological control of insect pests #IOBC3 Costa Rica

I'm really looking forward to learning about forestry pests and pre-emptive biological control against invasive insects at the #IOBC3 in Costa Rica

I'm excited for my talk today about my PhD research #fallarmyworm #africanarmyworm

Thank you for inviting me to present about my PhD at the #ICBC in Costa Rica, lots of interesting questions. But I'm glad it's over now I can finally relax and hopefully see the butterflies 🦋

I'm so excited to attend my 3rd international Congress of entomology #ICE2024 🦋 this time it's #ICE2024Kyoto in Japan.

I have grown as an entomologist at #ICE2016 Florida ( MSc Entomology @ Harper Adams University) #ICE2022 Helsinki (research scientist The Pirbright Institute )and #ICE2024 #ICE2024Kyoto ( PhD Lancaster Environment Centre Rothamsted Research ENVISION) and poster for new role at Forest Research

Forest Research entomologists Daegan Inward, Kyle Miller and Ruth Carter are presenting at the International Congress of Entomology in Kyoto, Japan, this week. Daegan is also hosting the symposium ‘Tackling destructive forest pests: sharing lessons for the future’ on how we’ve
