@minifauna.bsky.socialI watered the yard & put out a bowl for them. 2 of 4 had a drink.. and then knocked it over & ran off with the bowl!
moved the sheet from yard to deck, then set a camera to alert me if the 🦝 came upstairs.
5 minutes later...
@minifauna.bsky.socialwas out fiddling with the bug sheet and discovered I had an audience!
@mothyblackburn.bsky.socialAnother slightly underwhelming moth trap on Blakeney Point, with just 47:15. Red-line Quaker was my 750th species of the year, but the show was stolen by the two pinkest Vestals I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately the second had fled the trap overnight so couldn’t be properly papped. #TeamMoth
@mammalmark.bsky.socialJust 15 species in my garden this morning (VC29) - Delicates still keep coming trapped most nights #teammoth

@yorkshireeden.bsky.socialPhyllonorycter comparella mines on White Poplar in our South Yorkshire garden. #TeamMoth
@hannahbreach.bsky.socialA Vestal (Rhodometra sacraria), spotted flying over the lawn. Leaving our grass long and letting the 'weeds' grow makes hanging washing out SO much more enjoyable!
