@mavisbickle.bsky.socialWhy, thank you, how kind 🤗
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialAha! The mystery is (probably) solved. A huge Holm Oak hiding in plain sight on the opposite corner to where I usually walk, just under 500 metres away from home. The Spiny Hook-tip didn’t make the hole in the acorn though…😁
@sj84turner.bsky.social #teammoth
@mavisbickle.bsky.social😮💨 thanks 😅
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialA surprising 29 of 11 species considering the pants weather but my Merv fomo was strong… still no Merv 😓 but 8 Black Rustics is a record, Angle Shades was nice to see and the twins - Agrochola lota and macilenta, were NFY #teammoth
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialWell. Good grief 😅
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialLucky? To be fair though, I have a tiny garden and a small trap so I trap quite often
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialNFY Green-brindled Crescent and
The not-so-common here this year, Common Marbled Carpet #teammoth
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialI’m also Mervless. My earliest was mid October..

@mavisbickle.bsky.socialOoh, one of the subjects of my next painting project 👍🏼
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialIt’s doing so well this year that even I got one last night 🤯
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialCan’t believe you haven’t had the pleasure 😮
@mavisbickle.bsky.socialThe annual lonely Palpita vitrealis
