I‘m so chuffed that this particular PhD studentship received funding & envious of the lucky person who will get to do the research.
Apply, folks!

Close-up photograph of a pen and watercolour drawing of the body and one wing of a butterfly.
‘Gordius’, by Sir Thomas Gage (1781-1820) of Hengrave Hall, Suffolk, from an unfinished work on European butterflies. Gage had access to the collection of 'Mr. Mathais Professor of Sculpture at Dresden then residing at Rome'. MS Hengrave 62 @theul.bsky.social #EntHist
Hurray. Congratulations to Jeannie.
#EntHist is a winner!
Colour illustration of a Hoverfly.

Hand-coloured printed illustration of a male and female Scorpionfly.
Male and female Scorpionflies. From James Barbut’s ‘The genera insectorum of Linnæus …’ (London, 1781). S391.b.78.13 @theul.bsky.social #EntHist #Diptera

Excited to find drawings of moths by FW Frohawk (1861-1946) in the archive of biologist William Bateson @theul.bsky.social.
They’re catalogued as ‘27 drawings of Milan Leps’, but think this should be ‘Melan[istic] Leps’? Do they look right for showing melanism, #TeamMoth? MS Add. 8634/J.3 #EntHist
A childhood notebook from the 1920s, from the archive of the historian Brian Wormald (1912-2005). MS Add. 10283/1/2/1 @theulspeccoll.bsky.social 2/2 #enthist @theul.bsky.social @camglamresearch.bsky.social
Montage showing nature printed butterflies in a 1920s notebook: a Peacock, Red admiral and Small tortoiseshell.
Interesting to find some nature printed butterflies @theul.bsky.social yesterday (‘lepidochromes’). The butterflies were pressed on prepared paper, which was folded, allowing the scales to transfer to create mirror images of both sides of the insects’ wings. 1/2 #enthist @camglamresearch.bsky.social
Francis Jenkinson’s diary entry for Saturday 21 September 1901.
Hoverfly resurrection. 21 September 1901, @theul.bsky.social Librarian and dipterist Francis Jenkinson recovers a Marmalade hoverfly from a spider’s web, “tightly wound up … which being unwound came to life again in a pill-box by the evening.” #enthist #Diptera #Hoverflies
Four photographs showing insects and the tools of collecting.
Really enjoyed the insect display in the Natural History Gallery at Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery today, and the focus on how insects were collected. #enthist
An entry from Francis Jenkinson’s diary, 10 September 1901. “Found a small Pipunculus ( ) dead on the sill of the W. window of the Librarian’s Room. 5.30 went to Mr Vail’s, & with much help from Aldis, obtained, took home, & eventually set up my incandescent table lamp. By it I was able to pin and mount flies in complete comfort till 1:30.”
10 Sept 1901. Francis Jenkinson, Librarian at @theul.bsky.social, collects a dead fly from the Library and gets an “incandescent table lamp” so he can sit up pinning and mounting flies until the small hours “in complete comfort”. #Diptera #enthist @theulspeccoll.bsky.social
That’s a very good not least because of the variety of wings - both bird & insect. #enthist meets #PuttiOfScience 😆
Thank you. You’re in!
Thanks for the hash tag alert. There was a (new to me) Mexican dragonfly on the sidelines of the #BSHS display @theulspeccoll.bsky.social today, so watch this space! #EntHist 💚
We really have to get #EntHist trending again, like in the olden days of the sadly unusable platform that shall not be mentioned.
#enthist 😃
One of my favourite #enthist books, Jill. 😍
Roemer is a really interesting character, too.

Etching of a city infested by lice. People are cowering, sheep are panicking, and lice are running around.
A nice lice infestation for the Friday afternoon ('Plaag van de luizen, Jan Luyken, 1712). #enthist
