Female Common Earwigs Forficula auricularia are very good mothers. After spending the winter guarding her batch of eggs she cares for the nymphs for several weeks and regurgitates food for them. The nymphs will disperse when they are large enough to fend for themselves. Dartmoor, Devon

Willow Tits going, going...
The tide of decline now lapping over the former heartlands of South Yorks. If anyone complacently tells you their region still has plenty of Willow Tits doing well, remind them that Yorkshire and Lincolnshire were core areas 15 years ago. Now they're mostly gone.

Doing the moth traps at the Trout Farm this morning when I heard a 'twik' call high overhead. I looked up expecting to see a Corn Bunting. What I did see took a second to register....a Dipper!! I've never seen one from underneath before! It carried on flying high up along the Sydling Valley!!

Double-striped Pug - Bromsgrove 09/03/26
I thought I'd seen a moth fluttering around the kitchen last night, but assumed I was wrong or it had flown back out of the window.
However, just found this rather nice Double-striped Pug on the kitchen wall, giving me 12/5 for last night VC37 SO96 #teammoth

It might not be the most eye catching but we think the name Clouded Drab rather under sells its qualities. #mothsmatter
