🥤 It is fascinating watching butterflies feed. Using a straw like tongue called a proboscis they drink liquids (nectar, rotting fruit juice or even dung!) 📈You can help ‘take nature’s pulse’ by taking part in the Butterfly Conservation 🦋 Big Butterfly Count until this Sunday!

Looking forward to speaking about #pollinators and #climatechange at this event next month organised by CumbriaWildlifeTrust You can attend live or join virtually. Brigit Strawbridge Dave Goulson







Reading over some excellent X-Polli:Nation materials recently. Good to see education sector heavily involved, and pollinator citizen science ideas being shared between Scotland and Italy. xpollination.org
