@mothiduk.bsky.social just tried sending a 'chat' Was told you can't accept direct messages. Looks like the settings at your end need a tweek. ps: saw your 'pinned message' on this.

@learnfromnature.bsky.social #NAEE looks great. If you come across free 'mapping software' that can be used online we would be very interesting. QGIS has become too complex to use; so we use maps on Google Maps. This is a bit limited in its options.

Platycis minutus are called 'net-winged beetles' (family Lycidae), wing covers have a raised network of lines. Bright colour warns predators of acidic, burning taste! Adults fly slowly between plants, crawling on to flowers. Larvae feed on wet rotting wood, often in high numbers. #brightonwildlife
