Turned up to a field site tonight and the lovely lady who met me there gave me two beautiful green jumpers with the Moths in Toon slogan embroidered on them! She thought it would help if I had an identifying "uniform". Genuinely nearly cried, I'd been having a rough day till that point.

Sign the Petition Introduce caps on how much landlords can raise rent: Protect struggling families like mine

A lot of people in academia rent when they have short contracts, including me. A cap on % increases each year would help hugely!

The downside to visiting a flower garden is that when I want to chase and photograph bees and butterflies, they always go into the off-limits area out of range of phone cam. So just pretty flower pics instead so far

An academic poster entitled Moths In Toon: The Effects of Urbanisation on Moths in North East England. There are a few figures and maps, but this image is more representative and not readable

Just sharing this on here. The conference may be done but my project is far from over! Was quite proud of my pilot data as shown on this poster, and hopefully next time round I will be presenting my completed PhD instead! #butterfly_and_moth_congress #FoB25 #MothsMatter

So hi! I'm a PhD student researching how moths and moth communities are impacted by urbanisation.
