The weather has been warmer here the last few weeks and I am starting to see my garden coming to life, flowers are blooming and it's bringing the bees back, so happy to see them.

Well, would you give it credence?! 
Just as I was putting the moth box away, I spotted this little critter gripping a table leg. A Mullein Moth and the first sighting in 2025. One of the 'wood mimics', resembling a bark chipping or dead plant stem to avoid detection. Generally flies April to June.

There's no one here that feels no pain
Deep inside we're all the same
And when the light begins to end
We meet a friend
Some people symbolize
The hope and fears beyond our eyes
And now you shine so clear and true
Believe in you
Fly on, little chalk blue
Fly on, I'm following you
And everybody in the world
Is following too, fly on
When you're looked behind a door
You need your freedom there much more
And by your wings we'll learn to see
You hold the key
Fly on, little chalk blue
Fly on, I'm following you
And everybody in the world
Is following too
Following you, fly on

Word for April 25: #Insect
Attack of the Giant Ants
- Blondie (1976)
Early Blondie, but already ignoring genre rules and defying labels.

Insects are disappearing at an alarming rate worldwide, but why? A recent meta-analysis of over 175 studies on this topic shows that there is a complex netwerk of driving factors with agricultural intensification at the top of the list of proposed drivers.
