It's #InsectWeek23! Did you know Ants will often consume the honeydew produced by variegated oak aphids (Lachnus roboris) and actively defend them against predators. Can you can spot any ants amongst the aphids in these pictures?

Rhizophagus grandis, the biocontrol of the pest great spruce bark beetle (Dendroctonus micans), may travel several kilometres in order to find their prey – an impressive feat for a beetle less than 5.5mm long! forestresearch.gov.uk/services/pest-… #InsectWeek23

@dr_andy_wilcox @EntoProf @HarperAdamsUni This is very sad news. Like so many others, I wouldn’t be working in entomology without Simon’s encouragement and support. He inspired so many of his students to become ecologists and entomologists. Please pass on condolences to his family.

Hello all. I am so very sad to report the death of Professor Simon Leather, @EntoProf Simon died peacefully last night. Simon’s wife, Gillian, asked me to announce on Twitter as this was such a big part of his life. I will post the funeral details once I know. @HarperAdamsUni

It was great to be part of the inspiring #RSBPlantHealthSummit - fantastic to connect with a new network of plant health professionals, and visual representations like these should become a scientific conference staple!
