Here there be dragonflies
Ancient dragonflies with 300M-year history have powerful, independently controlled wings, hovering, gliding, and even flying backward.

ALL I NEEDED WAS ONE WINTER:
A single dry stem.
Three months of peace.
Then I would’ve flown in May.
You saw garden waste.
I was a butterfly waiting for my wings. 🦋💔

My goal is to understand and protect insect diversity while strengthening resilient agriculture.

Tuesday was the 200-year anniversary of James Charles Dale catching the UK's first recorded Bordered Brown Lacewing. We marked the day by finding six in a small area by Stonehaven War Memorial.
Bottlenose Dolphins joined the celebration by splashing around offshore.

From wildlands to farmlands, we need to put functional roles front & centre.
Insect functional diversity supports pollination, pest control, nutrient cycling, & more.
Let’s design systems—conservation & agricultural—that work with insects, not without them. #Agroecology #InsectConservation

You can make your own bug hotel by gathering up sticks and small pieces of wood and placing them inside a small enclosure.
Pre-made bug hotels are available in stores, too!

I often think about how much data on insect population dynamics is never recorded... Looks like a good year for many insect pops around eastern Aus. Getting this from personal obs, anecdotal reports from ecologists collecting field data on other things, and FB gardening groups! #insectconservation
