There's still time to show your support for insect #ConservationScience with #BigGive. Your generous donations will support the next generations of the #LargeBlue in the UK & beyond 🦋 Double your impact before midday 29 April 🔽 buff.ly/lyGUtQ7 @gloswildlife.bsky.social @biggive.bsky.social

Just three days left to double your impact for #InsectConservation 🦋 Watch the full interview between RES Conservation Project Manager, David Simcox and @GlosWildlife.bsky.social Land Manager, Grove Sykes, at joint-owned Daneway Banks. Watch the interview and donate today 🔽

Today, attended a colleague’s birthday who works on mosquitoes. His wife made this cake and noted it’s World Malaria Day!

The endangered #LargeBlue butterfly has a bizarre life cycle. Its caterpillar feeds on thyme plants and mimics the Myrmica sabuleti ant who then cares for it as their own for the next 10 months. Double your donation from 22-29 April with #BigGive 🔽 buff.ly/BpXY1hY @gloswildlife.bsky.social

The national population of #LargeBlue butterflies halved in 2024 due to extreme weather during critical times of their life cycle. Dedicated monitoring is vital to saving the Large blue. 📢 This week only, every £1 donated will be DOUBLED 🔽 buff.ly/BpXY1hY #BigGive @gloswildlife.bsky.social
