Just one species attracted to the trap in west Devon this morning - my first Early Moth since visiting here 4 years ago. More shades of dead-leaf camouflage. #Moth #TeamMoth #Devon #TheJewelBox

A surprisingly decent night of Devon mothing in less than ideal conditions, and more species than trap nights now in 2023! Five NFY included these Brimstone, Muslin, Swallow Prominent and Powdered Quaker. #Moth #TeamMoth #Devon #Wildlife #TheJewelBox

#TheJewelBox is an amazing building (way older than the #Climatron in @MoBotGarden) that houses lots of exotic tropical plants. The #Masons were a weird, quasi-religious secret society. Isn’t #Lambskin what they used to make condoms out of? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ see? weird…

Kicking off the audiobook of #TheJewelBox. I'm just doing the introduction, then handing over to a pro so that the listener doesn't have to suffer my drone for too long. Thank you to the lovely @RNIBStudios guys for getting me through with sanity intact!
