I was fortunate to see a range of late summer mediterranean insects during a recent Go Slow in Mallorca trip, co-leading with @naturetrek.bsky.social ; highlights included the Violet Dropwing, Discrete Chaperon moth, Violet Carpenter Bee and Crimson Specked moth.

Just returned from co-leading @naturetrek.bsky.social Go Slow in Mallorca tour - where we saw a great diversity of birds, my highlights being Black Vulture, Eleonora's Falcon, Swamphen, Marbled Duck, Little Bittern, Black-eared Wheatear, Caspian and Whiskered Tern, Med Flycatcher + many waders

Looking through old camera images today and i completely forgot about this Scare Chaser seen on the Somerset Levels in late May!
Once 'scarce' in the UK up around 2004, this species is now a common breeder across the levels.

During a recent terrestrial invertebrate survey at Somerset Wildlands Athelney rewilding site it was encouraging to see invertebrates responding well to the developing diversity of vegetation. 🪲 🐛 🕷️ 🦋 The number of Latticed Heath moths was particularly impressive!

After many years of admiration for the plant, i'm delighted to have Viper's-bugloss Echium vulgare now established within the little meadow patch at the back of the garden! A magnet for pollinators 🐝🦋🪰

A pleasant suprise to find a migrant Lesser Emporer dargonfly within the moth trap this morning!

Insects have been enjoying the heat this week! A broad mix recorded during my invert surveys across @somersetwildlands.bsky.social sites around the Somerset Levels. Photos here of some of the more colourful and easier to photograph! 🐝🐜🐛 @alasdaircameron.bsky.social

A pleasure to survey and explore the chalk downlands of North Dorset this week. Quaking Grass - Briza media and Kindey Vetch - Anthyllis vulneraria are always at the top of my list of indicator species however.
