Digging back through the Into The Wild Archive today & this week, it's time to reshare this wonderful episode with entomologist @AshWhiffin where we, of course, are discussing the world of beetles! Full Episode:intothewild.podbean.com/e/beetles-with… x.com/IntoTheWildPod…

Join us Wednesday 6 March, 2024 to hear Professor Rebecca Kilner Rebecca Kilner give the #Verrall Lecture. Free to attend event. Please note the venue has changed from Natural History Museum to @ImperialCollege. royensoc.co.uk/event/verrall-… #VerrallLecture #Entomology

This #MothersDay, we want to give a shout out to all the incredible Burying beetle mums out there, working hard to protect and rear their offspring. From preparing the carcass, to regurgitating pre-digested flesh to the larvae - they are exceptional parents! ☺️ 📷 Tom Ratz

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of you here… we have nominated the best beetles. 😉 Get involved with the The Guardian’s UK invertebrate species of the year theguardian.com/environment/20…

Nice find here from Rambling Ray 👏 If you spot a Caterpillar hunter (Dendroxena quadrimaculata), be sure to share your sighting via iRecord for us!

The carrion beetle Nicrophorus humator with passengers; attracted to the moth trap.

At last, some moths last night, the best a FFG Pine Beauty. Also a Black Sexton Beetle, with a couple of passengers. When I showed it in the pot to my wife, her response was "Phew, it stinks!" Somerset Moth Group @AshWhiffin Carrion Beetle Recording Scheme

As well as our encounter with 'Geoff' in Hockering Wood at the weekend there were loads of other good inverts to be had - Four-spotted Carrion Beetle, Spruce Shortwing Beetle, Two-banded Longhorn Beetle and Bracken Sawfly. Great to have access to this usually closed ancient wood

Just back from 10 days on the beautiful Suffolk coast - great area for birds & wildlife, like this fabulous Red-breasted Carrion Beetle ( a first for us) seen at RSPB North Warren RSPB Carrion Beetle Recording Scheme 💚🪲

As well as being great for birds, Minsmere has some cracking Beetles! I rescued this one from a path on our visit there last week. If I’ve got this right it’s the red form of the Black Snail Beetle. What a beauty! ❤️🪲 RSPB Carrion Beetle Recording Scheme

TOMORROW… we’ll be sharing some pretty big news. Stay tuned! 👀

My very first Nicrophorus vespilloides (Common Sexton Beetle), a carrion beetle, caught hovering like a hummingbird in the microWild meadow yesterday... with some mite friends along for the ride.

New paper with Rebecca Kilner out today in Animal Behaviour! doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe… How do nests contribute to offspring performance, independent of post-hatching care? 🧵1/5 📸: @tomhouslay
