Meet "Agreeable Gerald" the most adorable new insect for a fundraising campaign #ento26

Velvet Bramble-Puff (Aethelostoma velutina), an invertebrate engineered with maximum mammalian-tier charm to break every common insect phobia while anchoring serious habitat conservation.

Join an #Ento26 session this morning with Connor Butler in exploring what disgust can teach us about nature, society and ourselves.

Using insects as examples, we’ll discuss how Queer perspectives can help us challenge assumptions.

I’m sitting in the @royentsoc.bsky.social AGM at #Ento26 and I’ve been mentally sidetracked by this caterpillar and its similarity to my own physical state..I should probably get a hair cut at some point this year…

Don't forget to join us on Tuesday 8 September - 19:30 at Chapter Arts Centre, Market Road, for a showing of #SearchingForSatyrus, a film produced by Matt Fletcher. The story follows a photographer in pursuit of a critically endangered butterfly.

Join our workshop at #Ento26! We're building a searchable, open-access database of husbandry protocols for arthropod populations managed for research.

It's a hands-on session: explore the protocols, add species we're missing, and help us make the database more useful for people who'll depend on it.
