Nemoptera sinuata - Larger Balkan Spoon-winged Lacewing. Be amazed.

This is a well-managed verge packed with native wildflowers. It breaks my heart when the plants I love get replaced with seed mixes 💔 We must stand up for our native invertebrates AND our native wildflowers. The former need the latter, not a strange collection of annual plants

So Twitter, have any of you had any problems from neighbours because of your wildflower lawn? Apparently ours is just rye grass and weeds. Neighbours putting a fence up they're that disgusted. Sigh. It's full of bees and we love it. Not going to mow it yet Plantlife Sophie Leguil

Another good day monitoring breeding hen harriers on the Welsh moors (under licence). Nice to see bog asphodel in flower, oak eggar and emperor moth caterpillars and harrier nests doing well

We are heartbroken to announce that today HS2 Ltd will be taking legal possession of our Calvert Jubilee nature reserve for future clearance works. For 10 years we have fought long and hard against this. We are calling on govt to stop and rethink bbowt.org.uk/news/hs2-natur…

We found a third site on the farm last night that this very rare damselfly (the small red) calls home! The species has now been recorded along our farm's entire length of habitat corridor. All sites are ponds we dug in collaboration with Amphibian and Reptile Conservation 4-5 years ago! #habitatcreation

A couple of these moths were frantically feeding on Honeysuckle and Comfrey earlier; day fliers, rapid wing speed and distinct wing clips near the wing tips. Could it be a type of Underwing? We're struggling to identify them, any thoughts welcome! UK Moth Identification #MothNight #DayFliers

Saw this bird-like beauty on the wing tonight nectar feeding. Truly awesome sight and what an absolute whopper easily 12cm across! 99.99% sure it's migrant Convolvulus Hawk-moth from our fleeting encounter.
