Great moth night at Benfield Hill nature reserve. Trying to decide whether this Pretty Chalk Carpet outshone the Northern Lights 😂 Thanks to Alice Parfitt and Dave Green for leading. Buglife Sussex Moth Group Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔

Any thoughts on this Andrena Steven Falk? Possibly A florea, but maybe just A scotica agg. From Seafod Head this week. I'm edging towards florea, but not convinced! Photos M Kerry

Some good sand dune specialists at Climping Beach today. Nice to finally catch up with Coastal Silver-stilleto NHM Diptera Dipterists Forum

One of the best flies to be found on the South Downs at the moment, though my photos are never as good as this! #changingchalk

August was Wart-biter Bush-cricket (Decticus verrucivorus) survey month for Buglife's #ChangingChalk Conservation Officer, Alice Parfitt, & Changing Chalk volunteers. 📝 A busy month including surveying new areas around one of the core sites. 🧵/1 The South Downs NT

Another amazing resource from the Soldierfly recording scheme.

A great day out with Graeme Lyons this week. Saw loads of cool stuff but the highlight has got to be this Large Conehead.
