Getting our top secret #NatureDetective files ready for @LatitudeFest!
With our friends from @biouea, we'll be listening to #bird song in our sound lab, talking citizen science with #beetles, and looking at how to tell the age of a #lobster!
Come and find us in the kids area!

#NatureDetectives @LatitudeFest Have you ever heard the call of the European green woodpecker?
Come and find us at Latitude this weekend to learn more about the unique calls birds make in our sound lab.

A visually stunning talk by @pansdamen at the #icc10 meeting on jellyfish associated amphipods. Yes, amphipods live inside many spp. of jellyfish! Could this help explain why so many fishes consume jellyfish? (dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsos.1714…)

A couple of spiders found on gorse. A cucumber green orb weaver (Araniella cucurbitina sensu lato) and what looks like a furrow orb weaver (Larinioides cornutus).

What a beetle! The green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris) which is armed with an impressive set of jaws and is by all accounts a formidable predator.

The amazing Green longhorn moth (Adela reaumurella). Males have extremely long antennae and appear to court femaies in lek like aggregations. These were found on gorse in N Norfolk, UK.

Eye spots are common in Lepidoptera and may startle predators or deflect attacks away from the head. This Peruvian moth has raised metallic eye spots that look very similar to spider eyes. Another example of predator mimicry? @buchanding @j_gilroy1 @coleopteriste

Here is sp of plume moth (Pterophoridae) from Peru that may be a mimicking a mantid nymph. Possibly a rare case of predator mimicry where prey mimics a predator to avoid attack. This also occurs in Brenthia moths that mimic jumping spiders. @buchanding @j_gilroy1 @coleopteriste

There are different looks that one can attempt when in the jungle. Here we have examples of ‘deep swamp’ and ‘I usually take the 07.15 from Guildford’.
