We had a lot of fun and were really impressed by the curiosity and insights of the pupils that took part in our course. And thanks to our wonderful 🐝🐝for demonstrating insect colour vision by their flower choices!

🚨 #PhDposition in our group! #insect #vision #flight You are curious about how moths adjust their vision & movement dynamically to night-time lights (incl. #ALAN ): apply to become part of the team - roof jumps included (insect-vision.com)

🐝We welcome our new, most adorable, lab members 🐝They came here with a big appetite 😄
Excited for what they will teach us🤓

Today is #WorldLabDay : We are opening the digital gates to our #imaginghangar . Researchers from the Visual Insect Neuroethology Group group and @cbehav will take you on a 360° tour of @unikonstanz's largest laboratory. Click on the blue information points to get further info.

My dear colleague Jacqueline Degen looks for a PhD student to join her project on the #behavior of moth under natural & artificial light at night🦋💡 #ALAN I highly recommend the supervisor, the Zoology II department Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg + field work in Berlin 🤩↘️lmy.de/CWxy↙️

Crazy story of beetles continuing to defy our expectations by doing things differently at night. Thanks Ayse Yilmaz for inviting me on this journey into the weird world of big eyes and green skies.

🚨New paper out from the lab! How do hummingbird hawkmoths use vision to guide their proboscis on flower patterns? Links, Press Release and more insights in the 🧵down here 🦋👁️👅👇

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year from the lab! Here's to an amazing and eventful year filled with unforgettable 'mothments' and joyful celebrations. Cheers! 🥂🦋🎄

Massive thanks to everyone who helped me get there - giving me feedback, prep my interview and keep me sane throughout the process. I am extremely grateful to my friends and colleagues, the Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour community, and my lab Visual Insect Neuroethology Group for supporting me! Exciting times lie ahead 🤩

When you try to find a good colour scheme for a plot that fits with all the other colours you already have in your figures -- and you realise you made a German flag 🇩🇪🤓😄

Massive congratulations to Ronja Bigge 🙌🎉 well deserved after so much hard work put in before and during the conference!! #ICIV2023

We launched our lab twitter Visual Insect Neuroethology Group by launching ourselves off the roof Universität Konstanz. Follow us for regular updates and find more info on our website: insect-vision.com
