Hi Folks, The SIG AGM is on Saturday April 1st. 10am and will be at the Gatehouse as usual at The Wolseley Centre. Survey around the reserve after, weather permitting. Any agenda items, please message myself (@ConopsEnto) and @bugbotherer direct. Cheers A

Morning all, @entoarron has produced this Hemiptera colouring in sheet. So you can learn about some true bugs and do some colouring in at the same time. @StaffsInverts @ConopsEnto @bugbotherer @SUBioscience @StaffsEcology @amentsoc @BritishBugs facebook.com/pg/staffsbugfe…

@StaffsWildlife Terrible week. I enjoyed Roger’s company immensely. He was a wonderful person and his knowledge was phenomenal.

This is such a sad week for Staffordshire conservation. Roger was an enormous figure and knew the county like no other. He will be missed not only for his vaste knowledge but his charm and witt. I’ll miss him greatly. @SISF_2020 @StaffsInverts

Anyone else been lucky yet ? Nothing here yet in north staffs ☹️

The Children's University mini-passports have been compiled and ready for printing. There are so many existing activities to do that we can't get them all on the mini-passport! Luckily, there are is a cafe at the fair to keep you fuelled up and hydrated! @ConopsEnto @bugbotherer

We also have five talks for you to come and listen to ranging from 'bees and wasps of brownfield sites' to 'Bugs, bees, carbon and trees: investigating the effect of elevated carbon dioxide on woodland insects'. Full itinerary, coming soon. @entoarron @Liam_M_Crowley @ConopsEnto
