Some touching recent feedback from a reader of " & Pollination: and Society":

"[telling stories is]...one of the special things that makes your writing so wonderful and interesting (as well as incredibly informative and accessible)"

That kind of comment makes the hard work of book writing worthwhile!

Plenty of egg box roosting in the moth trap overnight. Catalogued, photographed and safely released to carry on their mothy business. Some of the nicer ones included:

1) Feathered Ranunculus
2) Nutmeg
3) Grey/Dark Dagger
4) Silver Y
.

Oh look @james_gilbert is here at last! Welcome. Follow and use hashtags, boost posts, follow lots of people. Periodically go back to twitter to remind yourself how awful it is there.
(that last one was optimistic)

my first week in ☀️ i'm sure the weather won't stay like this, but it's been lovely being able to get out and explore, and more importantly see some of the wildlife!

1. venus fly traps in the winter gardens @ duthie park
2. my old pals the seals at newburgh beach
3. my first peacock (aglais io) butterfly in the wild @ stonehaven!
4. showing my family around the zoology museum at uni

Working outside and a mantis exuvia just fell out of the tree above and landed on my elbow.

The night was sultry…
And it brought all the moths to the garden.
Here are four beauties:

1) Centre-barred Sallow
2) Hoary Footman
3) Setaceous Hebrew Character
4) Clancy’s Rustic

Busy native bee with a large stash of yellow pollen under its abdomen. Looks like pixie dust.

Despite appearances, this photo wasn’t taken in a studio, but on a late afternoon walk with the sun low on the horizon and no flash at all: the sun was my flash, shining on from under my camera.

Siphona sp. (tentative ID) inaturalist.org/observations/1

Excuse me, is this the way out of the nest?

Male ant, looking—as usual—like it got out of the bus at the wrong stop. inaturalist.org/observations/1
