Replying to @YouGov
Hi @YouGov can we talk about how you share this? These insect groups have important roles in our world, and many are in decline, we need to change the language we use.

Simon was an inspiration to so many. Few people have done more for UK entomology, he leaves an amazing legacy through his students, research, and publications. Always kind and thoughtful, he will be missed by so many in entomology. Our thoughts are with Gill and his family

Hello all. I am so very sad to report the death of Professor Simon Leather, @EntoProf Simon died peacefully last night. Simon’s wife, Gillian, asked me to announce on Twitter as this was such a big part of his life. I will post the funeral details once I know. @HarperAdamsUni

For #worldbeeday here's a hairy footed flower bee, Anthophora plumipes, it's one of the 270+ UK bee species & 20,000 globally. We recommend @BumblebeeTrust, @Buzz_dont_tweet, @britishbee, @bwars2000 & @PoMScheme in the UK for some great #bee resources. 📷 Anthony Cooper

"We hear a lot about the threats to conspicuous & charismatic animals such as birds & mammals, but far less about the insects that make up over half of all species & play a vital role in the world's ecosystems." Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborough 🎂🦋
