On #ValentinesDay & every day… Dung beetles love poo. They need lots of livestock, & undisturbed soils too. Let’s conserve all their species, Practice a reduction in treatments & look after that faeces! #ValentinesDay2022 📷 @paulypod

For #ValentinesDay2022 I’m sharing some #frog dating options. There’s someone for everyone! Come to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History Nature Crawl to see all the Hopper profiles, and learn about #amphibian amor. #WhosYourFavorite?

It's been sad to see so many trees fall during the storm, but the death of one tree can be the beginning of life for countless other tiny forms. We made a video about why deadwood is good and why we should leave it in our parks and gardens youtube.com/watch?v=MtYg2K…

Where possible we leave standing dead wood and fallen timber in The Royal Parks as it's essential for the lifecycle of many invertebrates. We've also been building loggeries to provide habitat for Stag Beetles thanks to players of Postcode Lottery. Dead wood is good!

I’m both terrified and excited to be giving a TEDx talk in a couple of weeks. Bad bug jokes incoming.

It’s David Attenborough’s 98th birthday today and I was lucky enough to meet him on a habitat conservation project last year. My mum had met him a few years earlier and had always held it over me, so it was mainly just a relief to get even with her!
