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

Hello fellow Kolektivists.
I'm here to join and support those opposed to growing fascism in US and world politics, environmentalism and local governance and political activism.
My political and environmental activism dates back to the early 1970s in Nebraska, Wyoming, Alaska, New Mexico and California. I work locally to promote public participation in local government, and to reveal the effects of global fascism on local politics and civil affairs.

There is a basic difference between the natural world and the human conception of the natural world, and it is this:
Humans think the world is linear and subject to human control.
The natural knows this turns out not to be the case.
"In wildness is the preservation of the world." Henry David Thoreau

Vegetable moths out last night. The rather pretty 1) Cabbage Moth and 2) Turnip Moth.
Also my first 3) Palpita Vitrealis of 2023 and the sparkliest, mintest 4) Yellow Shell. A real beauty!

Causality is a concept that most of us feel we intuitively understand. At its core, causality refers to the relationship between cause and effect – the idea that one event or phenomenon leads to or produces another. But peel back the layers of this deceptively simple definition, and causality quickly becomes complex, controversial, and central to how we understand the natural world.

There are many ways of building a world view that remains consistent with continuing observations of the world around us: religion, science, philosophy. culture, history, economics, to name the most obvious.
My goal is to craft a personal world view that views humans and human activities as one with the natural world, such that we stop destroying and polluting natural habits and species that support all life on this planet.

Wilderness is a great idea. We should have more of that, in more places, connected by wildlife corridors through not wilderness places, less of them in more places.
Not for "future generations," but for itself, a place where natural processes, limitations and evolution can occur on their own terms, not to satisfy human greed and desire.

When you're standing at the edge of the abyss, with your toes dangling over the edge, toe hairs flapping in the breeze, you have two choices:
Either take a step backwards, or,
Turn around and take a step forward.

Been playing a lot of #wingspan recently and just got the #WingspanEuropeanExpansion very excited to play this weekend. Also going to visit an #RSPB reserve to do some birdwatching for the first time ever. I love that a #boardgame like this can inspire me and others to take a more active interest in our #naturalworld

Some oddities in the trap last night
1) Small Plume - oxyptilus parvidactyla - only 11 officially recorded in Sussex according to Sussex Moth Group.
2) Long-legged tabby - synaphe punctalis - coastally common but rather uncommon around the rest of the country
3) Wormwood Pug - common as muck, but this is my first encounter

Pretty dismal mothing last night. 150+ the other night. Last night, just 8! Weather has been very unkind for weeks although last night was at least dry and cloudy, so did offer some hope. This was the highlight of the 8:
RUBY TIGER

Stormy weather meant no mothing last night, so here's a featured #moth for #MothMonday that visited the garden July 2022. This is a CHINESE CHARACTER, a rather common, UK-resident moth. It's USP is to mimic a bird-dropping to protect itself from predators, although I think it resembles a tiny porcelain dainty.

150+ moths came to visit on a mild, cloudy, drizzly night (perfect conditions). And the theme was THORNY! Three types of Thorn here:
1) & 2) Canary-shouldered Thorn (can you guess why)?
3) Dusky Thorn
4) Early Thorn

Our present civilization, if that's what it is, is bent on destruction of the natural world as it destroys itself.
Standing on the precipice with our toes dangling over the abyss, we have two choices: either take a step backwards, or turn around and take a step forward.
"What do you think of western civlization, Mr, Gandhi?"
"I think it would be a good idea."

1) First ever Swallow Prominent (had Lesser SP before)
2) L-album Wainscot
3) Fan-foot (also new for garden)
4) Tiddly tiny Pammene Aurita micromoth
Abysmal numerically, only 16 moths of 13 species … 150+ would not be uncommon in July, which is very concerning from #conservation perspective.
