If you buy this now, it is good for all of 2026 and you won't need to buy the disgusting version they are issuing starting in January.

It was an honor to work with this group... and the paper is excellent, but the implications for tropical ecosystems make me really sad. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Although I've had an amazing year mothing, there have been a few #moths that I wish I could have seen again. This Black Arches, for example. I took this shot in 2024. It will probably feel like a brand-new moth if I ever see one again. #teammoth

Today for #BestOfNature2025 is this wonderful species… Puss Moth 😻 (May, Essex UK) 🖤 🤍 💛 #NatureWithin #TeamMoth

I found this amazing Trosia semirufa moth on my window last night at @casabentbill.bsky.social #moths #lepidoptera #nature #costarica

Moths are great.

In reflection, these leaves fallen across a puddle, have found a way back into their parents’ arms.

Heterogeneity-diversity relationships really are positive if you have a good measure of dispersion? Nice paper. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nothing new here, but I like the title. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

No!!

Not any news to love these days, but I do love this paper on caterpillar sensory ecology. I can't wait to use figures from this for teaching. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This is a really thorough and interesting paper on moth orientation strategies, relevant to migration, pollination, host location. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My neighborhood #Ocelot keeps visiting me but I still don't have any photos of it. It's a very sneaky kitty. One day. At @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica #nature #cats #wildlife

What an honor to work with an amazing group in Colombia, Rio Vaupes, collecting caterpillars, marking and releasing butterflies and moths, learning Traditional Knowledge.

On the Vaupes. Comunidades.

Far away in Colombia. Trying not to pay attention to news.

Another amazing paper from Tara Christensen - with a surprising result that nectar generalists (butterflies) are declining more than specialists. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Nice paper by Wesley and Tlacaelel in Ecology Letters. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

A NFG this week in the form of this Green-brindled Crescent. Both a brown ☕️ version (Mon 13th) and one glittering with green ❇️ (Wed 15th). #TeamMoth #MothsMatter @obsidentify.bsky.social #DERBYSHIRE @derbyswildlife.bsky.social #macro #moths #nature #wildlifephotography #Lepidoptera

One of my favourite moths, and the first we’ve recorded for this season. From the genus Pseudanapaea. Likely Pseudanapaea denotata, but there’s a suggestion that the moths of this genus recorded in WA are possibly a different species. #teammoth #ausinverts #wildoz #Lepidoptera #inaturalist

Updating my LEGO White House

Sam Jaffe's plate for Euchlaena in the Eastern USA. His work is so good.

Stephen Miller will just make up a new "nobler" peace prize for his king.

Thanks Sloan Tomlinson for all your cool images of parasitoids (attacking leps in Mass. USA - from about 2 years ago).

A few #moths dropped by last soir. Best of the bunch was this nfg Green Brindled Crescent. #teammoth #norfolkmoths

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

thank you bloom county for necessary humor in these dark times

A couple of weeks ago, I thought we’d seen the last Toadflax Brocade caterpillar of the year, but no. Today I found another one. #caterpillars #TeamMoth #MothsMatter #ento #UKwildlife

I nearly forgot a #MothMonday post! Here's one of my favourites from the weekend -- I love the striped underwings contrasting with the intricate pattern on his upper wings Nature sometimes makes pretty bold design choices #Moths #MothsMatter #Lepidoptera #Naturephotography

Herald moth on blackberries this evening - I then checked lots more Bramble but didn’t find any more moths! #teammoth

Feralia februalis Last night here in Sebastopol CA #moth #moths

Teddy Roosevelt: “The President .. should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted … To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable .”

I am getting old and forgetful, so to remember Stephen Miller's name, I just searched (on google): evil white guy behind trump, and this was the TOP entry.
