I thought at first this was Phasia hemiptera but i now think it is a male Ectophasia crassipennis (seen in Sussex)? A recent colonist to BI in 2019 that is established in the south and now spreading north. No NBN records for Derbys/Notts.

A small fly that resembles a new tachinid fly species that arrived in Britain in 2019.

From the MV in Belper last night, this amazing-looking Hook-winged Lacewing (Drepanepteryx phalaenoides), a first for me. @belperbirder.bsky.social @richardttaylor.bsky.social @danmartinwildlife.bsky.social @cliveaderbys.bsky.social @chrisjacksonlrps.bsky.social @derbysnottsentsoc.bsky.social

The wasp mantisfly, Climaciella brunnea, is not a wasp, a mantis, or a fly. It is instead a type of spider-eating lacewing that keeps itself safe by looking like it has a painful sting, which is does not. Evolution continues to be marvelous. 🧪 #Entomology

Please #repost/#share for the #bees.🙏🏼🐝 This matters. So let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’. Let’s cut the bull and cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to, and detrimental to, genuine bee saving. 1/18

Did you know there are more living organisms in one handful of healthy soil than there are people on Earth? It can take 100s of years for just 1cm of soil to form, so it's vital we look after it – avoiding pesticides is one easy action. More: bit.ly/3ULsOhO #biodiversity #nature
