2. Every year,the UK receives trillions of migratory insects,who spend their lives travelling to & from our shores
So,take a closer lk at the insects in yr outside space & appreciate them for their amazing lives-whether they're stay-at-home souls/spend their short lives traversing seas & mountains.
Did u know? Damselflies are amongst the most colourful insects in our gardens, but when they first emerge, after developing as nymphs in water for a couple of years, their exoskeleton is really soft & along with that, their colour is very milky too. This stage is called "teneral". 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲
Did u know? The easiest thing to do to yr garden to rewild it is to rewild your patio. Patios need a lot of control to keep plants from self-seeding between cracks in the slabs & they're blasted with jet washers, but if you stop all of that & welcome in the plants, then all life will follow. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐦⬛
Did u know? One of THE best things about living on Minchinhampton Common is seeing the wonderful grazing cattle who wander freely around the village from May to October. Such great neighbours to have. I've lived here 22 years & every time, I get a thrill when they pass just outside my house. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🐮
Do you know what the worst taste is? It's the revolting taste of rainforests being destroyed for #palmoil in #chocolate and #candy made by #Nestle #Mondelez #Ferrero. Make sure you #BoycottPalmOil 🌴🩸🚜🔥🙈☠️🚫 #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2021/02/11/p...
