A bit of juvenile Mute Swan dispersal early morning (Cowcaddens)

You're welcome Ruth. Yeah, they're usually over/near a water source.

Caddiesflies lay their eggs suspended like that.

Hi Justin, that's a Pale Tussock caterpillar.

Good luck 🤞

No problem Nicky. They'll make their way into the leaf litter eventually. They're often found on fence rails/posts at this time of year. These species feed on Aphids on the underside of Sycamore leaves but end up on the ground when the leaves drop.

Some species will overwinter in a state of diapause in leaf litter.

The downstairs lights are on 24/7 so there's a good supply of inverts (midges, craneflies etc) to keep them going. I'm just glad the moths are too big for them to tackle!

It is indeed Steve. One of the 3 carpark entrances produced my first ever Beautiful Carpet last year!
