Yay! The Jersey Tiger moth show reaches my garden, nr Tetbury, Glos. Mega expansion phase moth. (Also note the still healthy Box hedge... Box Moth hasn't got here yet... I'm sure it will... ... ...)
Congratulations All!
Last week, senior research professor Dr. Pete Teel, postdoctoral research associate Dr. Samantha Hays and @txextension specialist Dr. Sonja Swiger presented at the 2022 Beef Cattle Short Course during a session on ticks, flies and other livestock pests. #TAMUBugs
A new study finds 3 compounds derived from flowers show significant tick-repellency in field trials. While further evaluation for safety and effectiveness remains, the compounds could one day provide new options to prevent tick bites. /by @LauraJoanKraft entomologytoday.org/2022/08/10/stu…

Strongyloides: omics to worm-free populations. An international Strongyloides meeting on the 28th - 29th November 2022 in the UK. Save the date, details to follow soon.
What a result! After finding a handful of eggs over the past few winters and much searching during the summer I have finally found a Brown Hairstreak on @PortsdownHill a pristine female at a new site @HantsIoWBC @HantsIWWildlife
A dismayingly large number of hornets in my trap on 2 of the 3 nights I trapped in the Pyrenees. Each time there were two survivors and ~20 dead. Any ideas why these social insects became so aggressive? Is it just being stuck in a confined space that triggered the fight?
The first Long-tailed Blue butterfly reported in 2022 was spotted in a hotel near Bodmin on 1st August. Now is a good time to keep an eye out for this interesting migrant species! Follow our Facebook and Instagram for the whole story! 🦋

After finding my pond full of Small China-mark larvae (Cataclysta lemnata) at the end of July, they've now eaten themselves out of house and home...literally! @BritishMoths @BC_Suffolk #MothsMatter
Hummingbird Hawkmoth in our garden, Hertford 08/08/2022 @ThePhotoHour @bbcwildlifemag @Natures_Voice
Caterpillar minefield on the Wiltshire downs near Calne today: 76 Marsh Fritillary larval webs in 12 mins on linear route. 6 webs in 5 sq m. Tread with care... @BC_Wiltshire
Moth fact: Moths pollinate plants that other pollinators either won’t or can’t interact with, including but not limited to flowers that only bloom at night. Moths are an important part of our ecosystems! #NationalMothWeek Plume Moth Photo credit: Caramosca, Flickr
Moth fact: Moths are an incredibly diverse group of insects. North America is home to more than 12,000 species of moths. For comparison, there are about 800 species of butterflies sharing the continent. #NationalMothWeek Snowberry Clearwing Moth Photo credit: TexasEagle, Flickr
Moth fact: The Wavy-Lined Emerald Moth caterpillar attaches fresh pieces of leaves and flowers to its body while it eats in order to blend in with surroundings to stay safe and hide from predators. #NationalMothWeek Photo credit: Hope Abrams, Flickr
