@Iam_RITHIN_KV Thanks!

@DaveOB66 The way the butterfly’s intricate wings stand out against the soft purple petals is pure art. Great eye for detail!

I spent my weekend carrying out some more habitat management work for Duke of Burgundy in Pickering Woods, with volunteers from @bcyorkshire @northyorkmoors and Pickering Env. Group. We coppiced a strip of approx. 35m x 5m, opening up an area with lots of Primrose coming through.

@74frankfurt Loved this show!

Channel 4 comedy sketch show, 'Absolutely'. 1989-1993, 28 episodes. Introduced the public to characters including Frank Hovis, Calum Gilhooley and Denzil & Gwynedd.

Had a great day out with @bcyorkshire coppicing Hazel at a Duke of Burgundy site nr Hawnby. There was lots of Primrose coming through underneath, and lots of it with feeding damage from Duke larvae. @savebutterflies @NorthYorkMoors

@MandyLSimard Some from me:

Let’s see your spider pictures!🕷️📸 “A spider doesn’t rush. It waits, it watches, it knows.”

@MandyLSimard Green Hairstreak, taken in spring 2025. Won't be long before they're back!

Share your picture with the colour Green!💚📸 “In every shade of green, nature reminds us to breathe.”

@BluebellRaven Love this! I have a couple of his books.

I had to post this gorgeous illustration by Jim Fitzpatrick of Lugh Riding to Battle.

@anon_opin Are you one of the few intelligent people on here, or one of the less intelligent?

The "less/fewer" people are every bit as dull as the "didn't happen" brigade.

Heading down to Hull later to see @annalapwood at the City Hall. Her set includes 4 pieces from the LOTR soundtrack and I can't wait to hear it!

Early morning Marbled White.

@birder_bee I'm 59. I still have the same nightmare!

@czbugsart I've just got this as a 21st birthday present for a friend. She's a goth, and prefers to be called 'Moth', so this was perfect! She absolutely loves it!

The gothmoth print is always one of my best sellers at expos, and I’ve being thinking about a new version with the iconic black witch featured as well! I will also make a silver foil print version which will be available at future in person events as well!

@EddieWr99671067 Lovely shot of a pristine butterfly!

My #favouriteplant of 2025 was this fasciated Water Avens I found in woodland near Pickering, N. Yorkshire #wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany

@DrAllyLouks Beautiful Peacock butterfly

Met the prettiest lady today

@_Matt_Berry_ I've often felt that if their range or flight period was as restricted as some of our rarer species, people would go to considerable effort to try and see one.

First day of the month of #Leptember ! Starting off with my favourite species of all-time, the simply amazing 'technicolour dreamcoated' Peacock (Aglais io).

@nikols_steve @BCWarwickshire @savebutterflies Lovely photo of an under-appreciated butterfly!

Happy Birthday to me! #reallyold!
