🧵1/4 🚁➡️🐝 A drone needs a data link and remote computing. A honey bee does not. With a brain smaller than a sesame seed, a honey bee makes rapid, context-sensitive decisions while flying. Efficient intelligence is not the same thing as more computation and bees are a striking reminder of that.

🧵1/4 ⚡🦋 Electrostatic pollination by butterflies and moths Butterflies and moths accumulate electrostatic charge as they fly, allowing them to pull pollen grains off flowers without even touching them. In other words, they can literally attract pollen through the air.

🧵1/5 🐛 If we are serious about halting pollinator decline, we must stop treating soil as a passive backdrop. For many pollinators, soil is their habitat. Ignoring it means overlooking one of the most fundamental pillars of pollinator biodiversity. Photo credit: User:Famartin - Wikimedia Commons

Hoverflies are important non-bee pollinators. Yet, they remain overlooked in risk assessment when it comes to pesticides. WildPosh researchers are trying to fill this gap by presenting a new oral toxicity test for Eristalinus aeneus, a widespread hoverfly species.
