Near the end of 2022 we had the opportunity to take part in an interesting @museumnaturalis @UniLeiden @RAVON genetic research study on introduced alpine newts in #Europe - providing DNA samples from #Scotland.
Watch this space for results!

Brettus cingulatus female with brood (of 50 ) on Days 2 & 3 after emerging from egg. This species has a special connection with my garden: it was first recorded from India from right here, by @curiocritters , Ahmed et al. 2017. 🧵

What an achievement! As always, we're honoured to work with this natural history legend. #India #wildlife #spiders #HarryPotter #mountains

Got the sweetest 📩 today!
Years later, the #sortinghatspider continues winning 💕 & making people appreciate tiny #wildlife, so often overlooked, and something we explicitly set out to do, when we gave it a #HarryPotter inspired name.

Senior Ecologist Euan Murray gets up close with a poplar hawk-moth (Laothoe populi), one of the largest #moths likely to be encountered in #Scotland (totally harmless). We're having fun with lots of moth surveys this year - why not get your own moth trap? #wildlife #entomology

A young jumping spider, Asemonea cf. tenuipes subadult male, with some odd roommates. He's constructed his sheet-like shelter to enclose a mealybug; and ants from a nearby colony have been coming in all day to collect honeydew from the bug.

Well, if it's wildlife or ecology related, us!
But today we had a visit from some paranormal investigators in the Ecto-Z, picking up some equipment we've been storing for @GlasgowBusters.
