A Powdered Quaker NFY that I recently trapped. It was on the underside of the trap, so I almost missed it. There are a few spots on my Skinner where #moths like to hide, and to be honest, I occasionally forget to check. #teammoth

Even though it was only 3°C when I went to bed, I decided to turn on the light anyway. So I was surprised to find a Pale Brindled Beauty, my second of the year, this morning. #teammoth

This mole has been busy, despite the cold weather. #nature #photography #snow

Reminds me of a Portuguese man o’ war #FungiFriends

Today's slime mould,Trichia crateriformis, which has opened up its top to release its spores (by a process known as circumsessile dehiscence!)

It's always fascinating to see slime molds taking over plants as they crawl around for food. It's like seeing an alien life form 📷 Canon 5D Mk III Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/3.5, 1/15, ISO 800 Stack of 30 images 1/8/21 Northern California #mushroom #fungifriends #mushrooms 🍄📷 📸🎞 🌿🌱 🟢 🍄 🍄‍🟫

I think it's a moth larvae, maybe a yellow underwing. It's very early. Is spring starting here already? #nature #lichen #spring #insects
