Enthusiastic entomologists join "Fly Girl" at Natural History Museum
6 February 2020
Leaving @HarperAdamsUni early and on our way to @NHM_London to visit @flygirlNHM and the #entomology collections but unfortunately without our bug-in-chief @EntoProf. I think the name of the coach is an auspicious sign. See you there @simonsegar pic.twitter.com/03FrH9WQ9w

I've never been called an enthusiastic maggot before. I am claiming it as the highest honour possible.

I'd love to know what @flygirlNHM was pointing out on her tour of @NHM_London but I was too busy skulking around taking stealth photos in the shadows! pic.twitter.com/8kzl7j5Oj0

If you look carefully you'll see a gaggle of @HarperAdamsUni entomologists striding purposefully under the blue whale towards Darwin and being lead by none other than @flygirlNHM pic.twitter.com/P3u1Tv1J9h

And to complete the circle we finished by looking at the @NHM_Coleoptera with @Coleopterist pic.twitter.com/4Jr42H7cfc

We then got a peak at the Lepidoptera ???? pic.twitter.com/p4loR4Vx8d

A big smile on my face after this thank you. It is great to see the little maggots feasting on the collections and laying down their entomological reserves for the next phase of their lives. Good luck and keep on entomologing.... #scicomm https://t.co/gbV6LX4x3L

Our trip to the Natural History Museum yesterday was incredible, so many amazing insects and so many secret corridors! Thank you @EntoProf @scienceheather and @simonsegar for organising/taking us and thank you @flygirlNHM for showing us rude flies! pic.twitter.com/d8uKH3na3J
