Self-confessed nature nut: birds, bees, butterflies, moths, even spiders, I love them all. Equally crazy about Bruce Springsteen.

The net-winged beetle Platycis minutus, found this morning in Footherly Woods. Very local with only 7 Staffs records on iRecord. Low light levels on a shady path meant that the photos aren't as crisp as I'd have liked. Staffs Ecology Wil J. Heeney 🤙🏳️‍🌈🪲🪰🕷🦇 Jon Moore David Coles

Reasonable night’s trapping, with Dotted Clay NFG and Old Lady NFY (didn’t stick around til morning though). True Lover’s Knot keep on coming, must be up to 10 this year. Wish all the cloud present during the day wouldn’t clear as soon as it gets dark tho’. Phil Andrews

Cloudy but windy night produced 80:22; over a third were LYUs and virtually no micros. Best was NFY Brindled Green, earliest ever by 2 weeks. Also 3 Angle Shades, Old Lady and BBYU. Phil Andrews Dominic Collins BC Warwickshire

Feeling very autumnal this morning, like the mist at the end of the holiday in ‘Jules and Jim’. If you don’t know the music (or the film ) have a listen youtu.be/mm23uWy7pbk?si…

An excellent night for the moth trap with my first ever macro migrant for the garden, a Scarce Bordered Straw! Another NFG with Orange Sallow (I did tell Dominic Collins I’d get one), and Mouse Moth NFY. Plus a trio of Centre-barred Sallow. Phil Andrews BC Warwickshire

All kicking off in the moth trap tonight: 2 Old Ladies, Burnished Brass, Green Carpet (never particularly common for me).
