So very sad to hear of the passing of Simon Leather 🔶🇪🇺. I filmed this ‘A is for Aphids’ video at Harper Adams University back in 2013. Absolutely worthy of a watch, Simon at his best. m.youtube.com/watch?v=liBt59…

🦗🐝 #HowDoYouFeelAboutInsects? 🐞🐛 Amma Simon Amma Simon, Royal Entomological Society #Outreach committee member & #PostDoc at Keele/Nottingham, sharing her view on the #LittleThingsThatRunTheWorld for #InsectWeek22 🦋 #InsectWeek #Perception #Entomology #Science #Education



Interesting (but worrying) talk about representation of entomology in higher education modules (under represented in the UK) by Amma Simon - with some great suggestions of things we can do! #Ento22


Here’s to possibly the worst team, with the best name, HymenopTERROR (or hymenopterrible). A great evening at the #EntOlympics! 🐛 Angel (Tiên) Nguyễn 🌸🦋 Dr Charlie Woodrow @GaiaMortier (and more) #Ento22


Wow! Absolutely beautiful talk by Nalini Puniamoorthy stunning combination of approaches to characterise species, populations and reproductive morphology of these incredible insects


Chuffed to have presented a poster and given a talk at Royal Entomological Society #Ento22! I've had a wonderful time connecting with Entomologists from around the world and hearing about the awesome research happening in #Entomology.
