Just so you know, any perspex/polycarbonate glasses block UV light so you don't need any special ones. Cheapest ones are under £2 if you don't already have a set for DIY.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Hello all you Moth-ears , on inspecting our garden after been away a few days came across these 2 pretty Moths just cwtching by the looks , can one of you put a name to it please ? Oh and also Dragonfly No11 coming out of our pond. thanks
And although we get them all the time, I’m still always awed by how much a Buff Tip looks like a silver birch twig, here’s one in the trap and then released onto a birch
Amazing hauls from both of you. I look forward to joining in though ID will frustrate me.
I love the names too. You get so much more imaginative and whimsical common names than in most science. “The Uncertain” is a wonderful name - poetry in motion.
There are apps that help, I now use one called ObsIdentify that an ecologist recommended to me that records, logs and is pretty good at identifying them @Fire
