This is the #Swollenthighbeetle, #Oedemera nobilis.

It's a real beauty with its green metallic elytra, always slightly gaping. Only males have distinctive swollen thighs

They eat pollen, so see them on flowers

Hi my lovely #botanists, someone who read my blog on #rosehips asks: "Do you know of a reference which outlines the differences in rosehips from the rose family?" ie which hips belong to which species and variety? Think she means garden not wild varieties. Thanks. @BSBIbotany

New blog out comparing Giant #hogweed #Heracleum sphondylium with Persian hogweed H. persicum https://t.co/KmX6k8JBIs - even though I did the #botanicalillustrations & blogged on it I'm still a bit confused, so if any lovely botanists want to comment...feel free!

Today's blog compares Canadian Goldenrod Solidago canadensis with Early Goldenrod Solidago gigantea.

Goldenrod are great flowers for pollinators

House sparrow, Passer domesticus.

These birds used to be incredibly common across urban areas of the UK, however, they've suffered a massive population crash recently with 71% decrease between 1977 & 2008 (RSPB)

This is my #Peacock #butterfly #inachisio #illustration. Just discovered that adults hiss to deter predators & males will even chase a lump of soil when looking for a mate, thanks to "Butterflies of Britain &Ireland" by Thomas & @rlewington2 It remains my fave butterfly book.

Here is a colony of #nakedmolerats in their burrow. Many thanks, Lauren & your lovely team, and Sophie, for giving me the chance to re-visit this illustration done a while ago... Naked Mole rats are super-cool. Thanks for reminding me & the nation just why.

Hedge woundwort, Stachys sylvatica. Lots of people don't like this plant because of its smell, but I like the purple spike of flowers and downy leaves. As the name suggests, it used to be used to heal wounds and at staunch blood loss. #botanicalillustration #woundwort #herbalism
