The international trade in #ants is a major issue, so it's good to see calls for it to be taken more seriously: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

You can also do your bit: don't buy ants as pets.

Deep in biodiversity data analysis, but field recording is just as vital! 🌿🦗 Found a slender ground hopper in a new hectad, plus lots of solitary bees and black oil beetles (Meloe proscarabeus).

Just wrapped up the desk-based review for our project on future invasive plant threats in NW Wales for @northwaleswt.bsky.social! 🌱 Using geospatial analysis, we processed 16,000+ non-native plant records to assess site risk. Next up: field surveys!
