Canterbury's newest art mural is taking flight thanks to @AtmStreetart! Spot the White-spotted Sable Moth and the Heath Fritillary Butterfly. Both are rare species in the UK that need particular woodland wildflowers to ensure their survival in nearby Blean Woods.

A field and classroom study day at SBBOT with Butterfly Conservation Kent & SE London yesterday - Caterpillars. Just used google lens to remind me of the first, initially came up with python... perhaps not the best app! (I think it was Magpie moth) #moths #caterpillars

Black-veined moth survey today and highly successful with 30+ individuals located at their Kent stronghold. Photos show an individual on Chalk Fragrant orchid. Some botanical interest as well with Late Spider orchid seen in a new area for me.

A few weeks ago I joined colleague Dan Tuson to see a species that was on the brink of UK extinction in the mid-1990s. Since then, nearly 30 years of work & partnership with multiple farmer clusters means the future for Black-Veined Moth in Kent looks hopeful once more...
