Amazing data set

Enjoying the online UK Moth Recorders Meeting from @savebutterflies. This slide from @Moth_Lady shows the big increase in moth recording in 2020 due to lockdown. Great to welcome so many new people to the moth recording community. #UKMRM

It’s not why I look for #moths (that’s because it’s fun) but a pleasure to know we are contributing days to analyses like these #ukmrm

My first moth of the year. It’s so warm outside tonight and this was attracted to my window I think it is Agonopterix subpropinquella.

@ChrisGPackham I can’t believe Facebook thinks I should join this disgusting group!!

Today’s bit of fun!

@iRecordWildlife since iOS 14 update iRecord is a little glitchy. Typing in species causes multiple records to be initiated.

I had this Opheltes glaucopterus at light last night at Cofton Park. A superb looking ichneumon wasp. Only 13 records on the NBN on-line Atlas!

@ChrisGPackham @WTBBC @BhamCityCouncil @WorcsWT more examples of callous regard for wildlife. #coftonpark meadow now destroyed. All the butterflies still flying gone and most of the wildlflowers not allowed to set seed. Harebell pic taken 2 days ago @BC_WestMids @WestMidBirdClub

I’ve not had much success getting the brown lacewing down to species. From S Birmingham. Can anyone help?

@bbcspringwatch great to see the dark form of the Peppered Moth

@savebutterflies @EcoRecording @BC_WestMids To my surprise I had a f. carbonaria Peppered moth last night at Cofton Park. I’ve not seen one for years. I wonder what the prevalence of this form is now in the area?

Amazing

Caterpillars of the Goat moth (Cossus cossus) live inside the trunks of a variety of broadleaved trees, feeding on the wood. Incredibly, they spend three or four years in this stage before pupating. butrfli.es/GoatMoth @BBCSpringwatch #Springwatch #MothsMatter

A friend in Anglesey had this Buff Ermine aberration, does anyone know how common are they?
