It is always an exquisite pleasure to be reunited with our beautiful and elegant Rosalia in her magnificent mountain beech forests! The species is restricted neither to mountains nor to beech, but it is here where its spirit lies. May our encounters continue long into the future!

Cassida hemisphaerica … Looking like a drop of water on a Dandelion leaf, this Nationally Scarce ‘A’ beetle was spotted in our garden yesterday. A glistening 4mm long jewel. Our thanks to Michael Geiser for the ID. #beetles #WildlifeGardening

I’ve been particularly unobservant for several decades and only just noticed this rather large spine on the rear tibia of a relatively common beetle. Give yourself a pat on the back if you can name it! @ColSocBI

This rather bizarre looking larvae (c.3-4 mm long) will (hopefully) develop into one of the delightful Figwort weevils (Cionus sp.). Apparently they are covered in shiny goo which is distasteful to predators and parasites. On Common Figwort in our garden.

The worst beetle workshop in the world would still be better than the best cranefly workshop😉 Nonetheless, if you fancy reminding yourself why beetles are better than craneflies, book below for the 14th!
Bees & Wasps of Ireland@BeesOfIreland

Just one week left to the best Cranefly Workshop you'll attend this year, guaranteed... Grab your net, open your ears, but most importantly, reserve your spot on the course now! bit.ly/cranefly-intro
