Green veined white butterfly. 🦋

Particularly fond of damp areas with lush vegetation, you’re likely to see him in wooded areas and along hedgerows. This one has had a busy season, judging by those tatty wings.

Well, wouldn’t you know in it? I was gonna do my today but the sun seems to have taken his hat off! Thankfully there is almost a month to do it.

In the meantime, here is one of the many beautiful gatekeepers currently active locally. It’s distinguishable from the very similar meadow brown by the two white dots inside the black wing spot. They love ragwort and wild marjoram, and can be seen in the low lying shrubbery along riverbanks.

They’re quite abundant locally at the moment…the sharp-eyed among you might spot one of these tiny, well-camouflaged beauties; the common blue 🦋

The wonderful hummingbird hawk moth is unmistakable in flight, and very true to its name; it’s tiny, chonky, has a very long ‘beak’, and beats its wings at a rate of around 80 per second!

I was lucky enough to spend a good ten minutes or so watching this one gorging itself on buddleia nectar 🦋

Here’s a few more facts about this awesome little moth:

🤍 A day-flying moth that hovers like a hummingbird while feeding on nectar.
🤍 Most UK sightings are migrants from southern Europe and North Africa.
🤍Loves nectar-rich flowers such as lavender, buddleia and red valerian.
🤍 Caterpillars feed mainly on bedstraws.
🤍 It’s luckily not currently considered threatened in the UK, but like all invertebrates benefits from wildlife-friendly gardens and reduced pesticide use.

Blink and you’ll miss him. The black tailed skimmer is a master of disguise among the pebbles. He’s distinguishable from the scarce chaser by his longer abdomen and dark green eyes.

While we humans struggle with ongoing heatwaves, love is in the air for these common blue damselflies!

The ‘wheel’ mating formation you see here is created when the female, held behind her head by her partner, performs an impressive ab crunch to align her external genitalia with his.

Dragonflies and damselflies remain among the few species that are actually benefitting in some ways from increasing global temperatures.

Interesting response from HDC regarding the recent removal of the progress pride flag from their building. You may recall that last week, councillors Ryan Coogan and claimed a very public victory for this removal, and accompanied it with an extremely aggressive homophobic slur.

As you can clearly see from the attached excerpt, the flag had already been scheduled to be switched for the Armed Forces Day flag, and the technicality Reform claim to have exploited did not come to light until AFTER the switch was already planned.

Reform lied through their teeth, and used that lie as a vehicle to incite hatred against a marginalised community with dangerous anti-LGBTQ slurs.

Remember this at the ballot box, please.

It’s !

The ruddy darters are out in impressive numbers now; this one is in the ‘obelisk’ position, focusing all the sunlight on the tip of his abdomen, to regulate his body temperature.

Very pleased to see this emerald damselfly this week; it’s a species that has always evaded me locally. Finally got eyes on one! Not the world’s greatest photo, but still - ✅
