🐛 Luna Moth Caterpillars 🐛
🌾 Walkabout 🌾
Seen over Southsea whilst on an adventure in the sun with my close friend, we saw this wriggly mass of caterpillars in a silk hammock just wriggling on mass.
Little mexican waves!!
**update, this group is of Lakey Moth caterpillars**
🐛DH HWK Moth Caterpillar 🐛
Mr Wrigley came into work with me yesterday as everyone was so interested to meet him.
As running jokes go I always say to my manager "I'm sorry I gave you the impression I was normal in my interview"
As Mr Wrigley ate, slept, popped and repeated this cycle at least 6 time in my working day in his leafy jungle.
He is to be upgraded to my mesh invertebrate tent this weekend for more climbing room and ease of cleaning up after him!
🦋Specimen Pinning🦋
Forewarning a single pin is used to position specimen.
Other than that, enjoy watching this chinese lunar moth being prepared and pinned.
Merry Christmas to all my page members 🥳🎁

Painting in my doodles from the previous few days, black and iridescent at the same time beetles are quite captivating in an array of colours.

Perseus and his fly 🕸🥩
🐝Bee rescuing🐝
This bumble bee I found on a table at work, it is the most mischievous bee I have saved so far.
He was taped into a kit kat box with air holes for the drive back to Mourning Glory HQ and Bee ward for assistance.
All tucked in for the night to stay warm we will feed him again through the night and morning for him to be on his way (🤞) in some sunshine hopefully
Unpinning the little brown spider 🕷🕸
It held its form very well and now the web prototype can be revisited from last summer 🤗🎉
A video unpinning the 17cm wing span Atlas moth with some facts on the species for those interested. 😊🦋💕
