Brilliant stuff!

This is useful and important research! Well done on coining the name and getting the idea to spread.

Been rooting around in our compost bin and found a few, which is great! Not many in the lawn, perhaps too waterlogged and the underlayer is clay you can make bricks from. A few small ones can be found 20 cm deep, will check leaf litter later this year. There don't seem to be worm events in Northern Ireland, we have some sites that are wetland/moorland that would make good sampling sites, easy to access and protected areas, so no issues with worms being gone due to pesticides etc.

The part about them climbing up rust was wild

how did i get here

I can totally see how naming it No Mow May infers that June 1st = Mow Day. They should call it something more encouraging or open ended like Make Hay May or Meadow May instead. Of course the inherent issue is that beyond one month our regular garden lawnmowers struggle to deal with all the growth. Since embracing wildflowers instead of neatly trimmed lawngrass I've had to retire my petrol mower in favour of a scythe! That together with a fiskars push mower (The only one I could find with a range from ~1cm to >10cm) set me back 8x the cost of a cheap electric garden mower!

I think it's well established from meadow management practices that the right time to mow "depends". Whether we take an early cut or a late cut all impacts the growing conditions for the following season so my practice has been to cut 1/3rd of my garden early (mid July), cut 1/3rd late (Aug/Sep) and leave 1/3rd untouched as an overwintering habitat for bugs.

Very jealous of the all holes occupied bee hotel 😂 ours currently only has 3 residents- better than none but hoping for more 😊

Great video - I wish I lived near to a sandy heath

Great presentation thanks all, will keep an eye out to see if it eventually arrives in the Gower or at kenfig in South Wales

Thank you for presentation. Best entomology greetings,❤❤🦋🦋🐝🐝🪲🪲🪲🐞🪱🪱🐞🪲🦋

Alaskan Bull Worm

I wonder if you ever came across my grandfather (Norman Watkins) collection of blues?

Can you share a link to the splat windscreen cartoon please? It was shown at 12.25 .

Really informative, thankyou, will leave all my ivy uncut and hopefully will find some this autumn!

The london honeybee situation seems even worse this year. Three swarms in our garden in the last 7 days.

just a suggestion. i do tapping myself and have successfully caught nothing in a few places i have been to! (that's actually a good think)..should we not practice removing all the females and the young from the water? the big ones cant reproduce. will eat the eggs and any crayfish smaller than them.

Disapointed as thought this is about how to refurbish a bee hotel ie overhaul an existing one rather than the two Citizen Science projects that are being promoted by the Buzz Club that will give data to optimizer been hotels.

Well done on making worms cool! I really enjoyed learning something new

Really interesting project !

You made effort to make such a valuable video but the volume is too low to hear. Just fix the microphone please.

Great presentation, thank you!!! As for the casting layer brought to the surface per year, is 0.15inches or 38mm correct.? Thank you

Thanks for this - got the time wrong for the live webcast and appreciate being able to catch up.

Very interesting discussion.

Great webinar Keiron! Thanks

It's all very impressive. The sound quality could have been better.

Thank you! That was a really interesting talk. Can you add a link to the books you mentioned? I am going to keep an eye out for beetles when I'm prepping my allotment now.

thanks so much for sharing!

Excellent!!!

Interesting talk on water beetles which would like to learn more about. Thanks

Fantastic video although those mites are pretty horrifying!

No need, they are all in DC and Georgetown, sucking the Life and Liberty out of the Republic

Gutted to have missed this, thank you for the great summary of information!

Apologies, but just cannot see this working reliably. If humans cannot distinguish species without a microscope, difficult to believe AI can do so. AI can learn to interpret X-rays for example, looking for lung cancer, possibly more reliably and faster than humans; but humans can do the task, there are visible clues, AI can imitate but not invent. And even then, the results can be misleading; in one study the AI learnt that x-rays labelled from the cancer hospital usually had cancer, whilst x-rays from elsewhere usually did not; it took the humans a while to work out why the trial results looked so good. Sorry.

Interesting watch. Quantitative ecology of insect would forever be my love

Yellow Cellar Slugs don't eat living plants? Not so sure about that one. I had slugs devasted my seedlings every night. After three days I decided to search for the culprit. Found two of what I'm pretty sure were Yellow Cellar Slugs. After removing them I lost no more of those seedlings. The slugs in question sat under a slab about 50cm away from the plants. Is there a look alike?

I have seen a whole load on my Ivy today in mid-west Norfolk.

Thank you for the instructions 🙂

What an excellent presentation! Thank you. Beautifully done.

Nothing wrong with not keeping males around...

I've been trapped in Texas, so I can confirm the importance of not straying too far from air conditioning!

A fascinating subject, very clearly presented. Thank you!

Beautiful bee, thank you!

I missed the live presentation and caught up on UTube. What a fantastic presentation so full of enthusiasm for the subject. So interesting to hear how citizen science has proved to be so successful, which is not always the case. Many citizen science projects do not deliver all that much. No doubt much of the success is due to the enthusiasm of the presenter and her team. Wishing all the success for the future of this project.

This is very depressing….There is no reinforcement of the law, regarding these big companies. They do because they can get away with it. I personally think the scenario is far worse than you amazing scientists discover. I see no happy ending… we should have people like you running a country. 😢

What an amazing talk, thanks so so much for this insight

Totally bloody crazy. Thanks for the talk and all the work you are doing. I appreciate why you focus on the science but ultimately this sort of problem (and sadly this is typical of how we treat the seas worldwide ) needs to be sorted politically. And that means an end to treating our oceans as a dumping ground. We can't continue pretending that if we dump our rubbish where it can't be seen,then we've dealt with it. I will try to make one of the talks. I'm based in Lincolnshire and am concerned that the proposed new tanker port / "green" barrage on the Wash will lead to similar problems. It will certainly destroy unique and irreplaceable habitat. When will we learn?

Good video. Kinda inspiring as a first year biology student to see the importance and implications of the work as well as the technuiqes behind it but also really, really hard to watch

Are we as a species, really so lacking in the capacity for empathy that we have to inflict ourselves onto others who are more vulnerable just so we can quantify how aware they are? Speciesism has no place in the 21st century

Just found this site today and this is the second video I've watched. This is a fantastic resource and I'm definitely going to get involved in the bumblebee scheme and , hopefully more re😢cording schemes as well. Thanks so much. What you are doing is so important. I look forward to actually joining one of the live talks.. Meantime I'll be piling through the back catalogue.
