It's #InsectWeek23! Did you know Ants will often consume the honeydew produced by variegated oak aphids (Lachnus roboris) and actively defend them against predators. Can you can spot any ants amongst the aphids in these pictures?

Ips typographus have a ‘elytral declivity’ at the bottom of their wing cases. They use their elytral declivity to push frass (beetle poo) out of their galleries under tree bark forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-…

Did you know that female aphids reproduce asexually during summer and are born already carrying their granddaughters? Green spruce aphids are the main defoliator of spruce in the UK #InsectWeek23 forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-…

Did you know that one of the most destructive forest pests globally, emerald ash borer, is a member of the jewel beetle family, whose iridescent wing cases have long been used in jewellery and embroidery? #InsectWeek23

An Expert Working Group is meeting in Paris this week to assess the risk posed by Agrilus mali to the EPPO Region.
This wood boring insect is native to Asia and can damage apple trees.

A few of the many #WomenInScience recently writing in the @RoyEntSoc journal @AFEntomology #insects #entomology #WomeninScience2022
It was great to be part of the inspiring #RSBPlantHealthSummit - fantastic to connect with a new network of plant health professionals, and visual representations like these should become a scientific conference staple!
