Nice to find Sundew Plume moth (Buckleria paludum) in the New Forest yesterday though it was struggling to hang onto its perch in the wind!
One of those species that has eluded me over the years is the fungus beetle Endomychus coccineus (False Ladybird). Put that to rights at the weekend. What a beauty!
This is beautiful 😍, and I love Detectorists.
I would add Tom Crean to this duo. The greatest unsung polar hero. Talking of heroes it's Gilbert White's 305th birthday tomorrow.
Nice to catch 2 of the fast-declining Garden Tiger moths at the weekend.
Best film ever👌
Some superb Devil's Boletes (Rubroboletus satanus) in Hants this morning and not slug-damaged for once!
A moth first for me at the weekend, unexpected here but been on my wish-list for a long time. The beautiful and cryptically marked Goat Moth.
Wow! I've only managed to see one species of pseudoscorpion and that was small enough at about 4mm.
A long wished-for fungus seen yesterday in Beech woodland. Giant Club (Calvariadelphus pistillaris). This specimen was 15cm tall.
