NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀 Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯 A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛 Let's dive in! 🧵👇 1/x

A surprise last night at CMO HQ was our earliest Diamond-back (by 53 days). A migrant off the airflow that's dropped lots of migrant birds across southern England or a hardy over-wintering adult? 13 December records in 2024 per @norfolkmoths.bsky.social @linnetincley.bsky.social #norfolkmoths 1/2

Lynnette came into CMO HQ this morning & casually said "I think I've got a New for Garden". And she had! Ypsolopha mucronella (Spindle Moth) became species #762 & the 1st NFG of 2025 (& 1st for TG04) @norfolkmoths.bsky.social has already updated the map👌 @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs 1/2

Was Suffolk moth group indoor meeting last weekend so thought I'd show a few slides from that. Here are last 7 years stats. I took over as recorder in 2019 + new website launched with online recorder, boosted records. Last year slight drop in recorders, records and species no doubt due to weather
