Interested in moth trapping?
Wondering which trap to use? Or if different bulbs collect different species?
Using 100k samples from @gardenmothscheme.bsky.social our new paper looks at these questions and more! With with Bill Kunin and @katatrepsis.bsky.social

Excruciating to hear Govt minister try to explain how expanding airport capacity won’t increase carbon emissions & drive #ClimateCrisis. It likely won’t even increase growth either given that corporate air travel is declining & 3 times as many tourists leave the country as come in. #BBCR4Today

Apparently I have 88 followers this morning but can only see 63 in my followers list and notifications, so I have 25 ghost followers. Anyone have any idea how this works on this platform?

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago.
We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better.
It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

Major floods on the Severn, Teme & Wye
Updated in light of another big one on the Wye last week.
Current 5 year period 3x more than any previous period in last 30 years.
We can either hope it goes away or start adapting. Fast.

Finally landed here after a very long break from some other place. Good to see a lot of familiar names and fellow environmentalists have already made the journey and the community becoming established.
