Instead of spending a lot of public money and wasting council workers' time spraying vast quantities of carcinogenic chemicals on tiny bits of green space, collect plastics strewn all over Brum.

Stop spraying highly toxic chemicals on the bits of greenery left in Birmingham and the W Midlands.
Save workers' health/lives and have your them collect the masses of litter/plastics everywhere

Today, on #TheMisplacedMenagerie -
We report the exotic (for #India) apple #snail, #Pomacea diffusa, also known as the spike topped apple snail, from the #Mumbai region, as part of our ongoing studies on #urbanwildlife, and the #ecology of introduced species, in #India, Mumbai.

The study was officially published in the 'ELA Journal of Forestry and Wildlife' - a peer reviewed #science journal, which is also the official journal of the #Maharashtra State #Forest Department.

Spiked Topped Apple Snails in #Mumbai (and other parts of #India) are the direct result of the #aquarium trade - either as accidental, or deliberate releases from home aquaria.

Took a wet walk through some first class WOOD PASTURE on the shore of #ullswater this morning. Here's a thread to explain why it's such a fantastic habitat, and why we need more of it.
On the face of it, wood pasture is just a field with trees in it, but it's so much more than this. When well managed, with the right level of grazing, wood pasture is one of the richest habitats we have. In fact, it's more than just one, it's a habitat mosaic.
Today on our #citizenscience board we're discussing which inverts are easiest to ID from photos. Our recent #InvasionsLabPub showed that conspicuous taxa (large or arborescent) are best. Do you agree? Try yourself & let us know which animals you recognize fastest! #FunFactFriday

Covering part of #invertebrates today in gen #biology & was floored when >50% of students didn’t know what a #cicada was! 1/2
@jenylamb so now outside after class looking for exuviate & of course can’t find one 🙄 2/2
@jenylamb complain and you will receive! 😆
