A brief #Introduction or actually, re-introduction post.

I'm Sarah. I'm an entomologist. I work at Niab in the UK, studying insects important in fruit crop production. This includes #Pollinators like bees and hoverflies, as well as natural enemies of pests, and the pests themselves.

Most of my work is on UK crops like #Apples and #Strawberries but I also have an area of work on entomology in #Cocoa (there are a lot of parallels with orchards really!).

I'm always happy to infodump enthusiastically about #SolitaryBees, #Forcipomyia, #Cacao cultivation, #Strawberry varieties, and also about hamsters.

Definitely an early morning for a great pot of double brew coffee and I’ve added making strawberry rhubarb sauce to my tasks. I got it all going before even a bit of caffeine yet, so motivation can get me far. I have our helper Yuvie coming in a few hours so am making a list to get the best of priorities done while she’s here. Hope y’all are facing this day with Great Expectations or at least pleasant ones!

A special 👋 to @CoachMark @Uncleharvey @Sharonbw @purplepadma @NorcalGma2 and other friends who often get their day going sooner
