Buglife Blog ~ Can a wildlife garden also grow food? Yes, we can do both!
To invite insects to your garden, you must leave them space, which isn’t how most gardens are designed. Nature’s Acre author, Ciarán De Buitléar, shares how he overcame this.

Insect Week starts on Monday.
Insects pollinate our food, recycle nutrients, feed birds and mammals and keep ecosystems functioning, yet many are struggling.
A few simple changes in an ordinary garden can make a real difference.

There are almost 300 species of hoverfly in the UK. They are important pollinators and consumers of aphids, and although some of them might look like wasps, they are actually harmless!
Many species are quite easy to identify - here's a selection below:

The Fairy-ring Longhorn Beetle (Pseudovadonia livida) is small and flower loving. An anomaly amongst most longhorns, its larvae developing in soil where Fairy-ring fungus grows, rather than dead wood. Adults love pollen and nectar from umbellifer flowers, as well as they love to mate 💚 🪲 #InsectWeek

Nicely written blog post by Dr. Silvia Pinea-Munoz (@climateages.bsky.social) reporting on trace fossils of the oldest fossil termite nest in Australia & their mite-y wood-chewing companions in their formerly polar ecosystems during the Early Cretaceous. 🧪 #InsectWeek
127 million years ago, termites were thriving near the South Pole
and their poop proves it. 🪵💩
Scientists just found the oldest polar termite nest,
packed with fossilized droppings.
It’s weird, funny, and surprisingly important.
