It's slender antennae are wavy, one rising towards the top of the frame and the other to the left. The moth's two front legs are tucked against it's body, the second pair grasping the door frame. It's body is overall tan with some orange on the edges of the wings and just under the head.

‘No one knows where it came from’: first wild beaver spotted in Norfolk for 400 years Cameras capture lone creature collecting materials for its lodge in riverside nature reserve

Some good news.

“A wild beaver has been spotted in Norfolk for the first time since beavers were hunted to extinction in England at the beginning of the 16th century.”

Thank you! ✨

ChloroLink A cute cozy management/exploration game!

Thank you! I liked that one best too. I worry it doesn't show off the gameplay enough for a games expo, but maybe a bit of mystery will draw people over!

Can beaver wetlands create a buzz and a flutter for pollinators? 🦫🦋

A new study, carried out by Senior Ecologist Patrick Cook for his PhD at the University of Stirling, revealed that wetlands created by beavers have 45% more butterflies than those created by people.

Hippity hop. Hope you all are having a froggy Wednesday everybody! 🐸

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Moth Terra on Steam Build and re-wild mothficient gardens in this strategy and atmospheric game. Attract moths, match soils and explore new biomes. Rebel and grow.

Moth Terra #indiegame is now available to wishlist on Steam. Aiming for release on Mothtober 2027! If you like relaxing strategy games, and/or Moths, please wishlist! 💜 ✨🦋 store.steampowered.com/app/4086570/...

Halloween is for the goths and moths 📣

So we're kicking off our spooky countdown with the aptly-named Feathered Gothic (Tholera decimalis). A common moth, well distributed throughout most of Britain, but very local further north.
