This frIDay is a favourite of most children. The Harlequin Ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) is an invasive species that actually only arrived in the UK in 2004 but it has quickly become widespread in the UK. The pronotum is the main way to distinguish Harlequins from our native ladybird species.

There are so many variations between the adult harlequins that 3 common forms have been categorised:
➡Succinea: Typically orange or red with 0-21 black spots. The number and size of spots can vary significantly.
➡Spectabilis: Black with four red or orange spots or patches.
➡Conspicua: Black with two red or orange spots or patches.

Vom, slurp, spit slurp. Our frIDay is one of the blow flies, the house fly. These guys are mechanical vectors of transmission of pathogens including parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Infantile diarrhoea, anthrax, cholera, ophthalmia, bacillary dysentery, typhoid, and tuberculosis........ 🤢😷

The Black Headed Gull makes this weeks frIDay. Often seen amongst other gull species scavenging an easy meal in city centres, they don't actually tend to nest in these urban areas. These birds like to nest is big (and very noisy!) colonies near bodies of water such as salt marshes, sea cliffs and lakes.

Did you know that Veritas Pest Consultancy offer drone bird surveys? Monitoring complex buildings and roof structures to understand the behaviour of pest birds on site without the need for access equipment.

No it's not a wasp, despite many pest professionals getting calls saying that it is. Many drone fly species are mimics for bees and wasps, an evolved survival tactic.

Though these aren't really pests, they are common around humans because of standing water in our gardens, like rain barrels and ponds.
