Found a stunning moth this afternoon whilst walking a bit of the coast path at Mullion, Cornwall. It’s a Crimson Speckled Footman (Utetheisa pulchella). First time we’ve seen one in the UK #TeamMoth #MothsMatter

This morning I revisited the site where I found the Date Waxcaps (Hygrocybe spadicea) to take a better look and get more photos. There are more than I thought - they're well camouflaged - perhaps a dozen, some still just emerging brown bumps. Still buzzing from the find. 😍💚 #fungi @sewbrec.org.uk
