Currant Clearwing

by JDO | posted in: Invertebrates, Moths, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

I’m posting two photos again this evening. The extra was my first subject of the day – a beautiful, fresh Angle Shades, which R found in the front garden this morning while he was cutting the grass, and carefully mowed … Continued

It was a day for watching the rain falling outside the kitchen window and being glad that I didn’t have to water the garden after all; for making a large batch of lamb dhansak in the slow cooker; and for … Continued

I hate to moan, as you know, but it’s not really feeling much like high summer at the moment. Today was cold, windy, and largely wet, with a distinctly autumnal atmosphere, and after bowling around the garden for fifteen minutes … Continued

It was a fairly dour day, weather-wise, but a late afternoon walk around Tilly’s field in the gloom provided me with my most interesting find of the day. This hay meadow is rich with invertebrates at the moment, especially bugs … Continued

While R and I were tidying the garden yesterday afternoon I pulled up a prickly sow thistle from the back of the front border, and as I threw it onto the wheelbarrow I realised that there were a copulating pair … Continued

R and I finished making the dulce de membrillo today. It’s quite a lengthy and tedious business, but everything went well, and by the time I took the baking tin out of the oven to test it the block of … Continued

Love-hate relationship

I love Hummingbird Hawkmoths. I also hate them, because the little bast darlings are so difficult to photograph. Honestly, they make dragons look easy. We generally get a few visits from them each year, usually in late August or September, … Continued

Burnets with benefits

A warm, bright morning tempted me out to Trench Wood, where I happened on these canoodling Burnet moths before I’d gone more than about a hundred metres from the car park. This was lucky, because around the corner from this … Continued
