A basking Gorse Shieldbug, my first shieldbug of the year, seen during Wednesday's one day sunny spell. Back to relentless gloom again since!

I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas

He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic

Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates

He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den

Merv new to garden last week. Hoping there is something in the trap in the morning, would be my first #GardenMothScheme run with no empty traps 🤞🤞🤞

If you are not ready to hang up your moth trap for the year just yet, please do consider our winter scheme which runs through until March.

Contact your regional coordinator for more information on the winter scheme: gardenmothscheme.org.uk/info

It's the final week of our 2025 summer scheme 💔

Please send your results to your local organiser after emptying your moth trap. Thanks to everyone who took part this year, your records are making a real impact on moth research.

@cofnod.org.uk ObsId reckons this is Spitting Spider but it's in my greenhouse so I'm not convinced 🤔

More Large Marsh Grasshoppers (Stethophyma grossum) from our return visit to Westhay Moor NNR on Sunday. The afternoon sunshine after the morning deluges brought them out & we heard much singing from the males. @rockwolf74.bsky.social spotted this fabulous female, liveried in pink & green.

Hopefully a very good night on the way for migrants, especially areas to the east of the cold front. Good luck! #teammoth
