☀️13c with a cool offshore breeze for this mornings walk at Southbourne. Along the wind free undercliff I was greeted with dozens of nectaring Clouded Yellows. A total count of 75 including 5 of the helice form. This species continues to have an amazing year. @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social

The comparison with the spiral barbers pole is genius. Add butterflies erratic flight means no birds have evolved to catch them

Show PostClearly something to work on, but the community of moth enthusiasts is growing quickly in Europe and a wonderful group in Portugal are leading the way www.reborboletasn.org/the-project. The EU has now adopted moths as one of the compulsory pollinator groups to monitor which will give it a boost.
