@clemlab.bsky.social20 years ago today was my first day at the @nhm-london.bsky.social. It’s been packed with learning, travelling, listening, curating, researching and shouting about the wonder of flies & the collection Thanks to everyone who made my double-decades amazing 🤘🪰🦟🤓
Show PostI love that this medical entomology professor turned a "we found a weird bug" moment into a teaching exercise and a paper for her class. (1/2) www.udel.edu/udaily/2026/...
Show PostWho's got 👍 👍 & grabs #flies to travel? This guy!!! It fell off the timber fly: bsky.app/profile/bert... Someone also found a stilt-legged fly, #Micropezidae, w/another little #pseudoscorpion hitching a ride. This type of #phoresy (traveling on other animals) is common. Costa Rica #FlySchool2026

Show PostBats and bat-flies Last night I tagged along to collect Nycteribiids from Daubenton’s bats. Great to see these dipteran weirdoes - flies with no wings, no eyes & giving birth to live young. 😎🪰 @dipteristsforum.bsky.social @royentsoc.bsky.social
