Éanna Ní Lamhna on an irritating native moth, the click beetle and the thunderworm
Some 400 razorbills were recorded there in summer 2023. These seabirds have been censused here since 1991, when 300 were counted. The numbers are up since Star Wars: The Force Awakens was filmed in 2014, when 200 were recorded.We’ve had four of these on the camellias in our garden. I wrapped each one in a plastic bag before cutting from the branch and disposed of them in the bin. Are they wasps’ nests? I’m anxious to know as I’m allergic to insect bites.
I just came home from Berlin to find this beautiful moth in my back garden. However, I don’t know what it is.Well, you didn’t bring it back with you anyway because this is a native species: the pale tussock moth. This is the female and is very hairy indeed. Hairs can be irritating if handled, so admire from a distance.I saw the beetle mid-May on a dry windy day. It was first clinging to a grass blade, then spread its wings and sailed to the ground.
