KimberleySpotted this ruby tiger moth (Phragmatobia fuliginosa) with vibrant hot pink body & legs hiding amongst a clump of dandelions. Just one of many reasons I let dandelions be in my garden. You never know who is tucked away safely in there <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/mothstadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mothstadon</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moths</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ukNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukNature</a>

KimberleyI found this beautiful little lady exploring the nooks and crannies around my water butts. I think she’s a German yellowjacket wasp (Vespula Germanica), and maybe a queen as she’s quite large but I’m not sure. She was very docile, maybe quite newly emerged. But I use my water butts a lot in summer so I’ve relocated her to a less troublesome location near some trees that are surrounded by brambles so nobody can get near enough to disturb any potential nests. <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ukNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukNature</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wasps</a>

LionelBThis was a very long way down the list of what I expected to see today. It is a common lizard (Zootoca vivipara). It appears that the coated aluminium heats up quickly in the sun. Also it gives up its heat easily. Grim that it has been thrown away but in this case more help than hazard.<a href="https://expressional.social/tags/reptiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reptiles</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/UKNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKNature</a>

Phil Sturgeon🌍🇬🇧 What can we do to restore nature on Dartmoor? Nothing as daft as “kick off all the sheep”, but there are changes to grazing that’ll work, and there’s what we’ve been wasting time and money on for a decade.

FozzyA Dusky Warbler spent 4 days at Filey, North Yorkshire. I was fortunate enough to be able to go see it last Friday.
