Parkens Grøde

Bird feeders have been filled with sunflower seeds and Kjøttmeis and Blåmeis have already found them. They send a high-five! Posting what the seed looks like on the plant, just to remind us of summer. Let's plant even more sunflowers next year!

September's garden activity.

We found a larvae of the moth, Melanchra persicariae, on the tindved today. It is called Svart hagefly, or the ”dot moth” in English, because of the dark wings and white spots. https://www.lepidoptera.no/en/arter/?or_id=8250

Many spiders in the garden now. This is (probably) a hornvevkjerring, in the weaver spider family, Phalangium opilio.

More diversity in the park today! (Probably) Xysticus cristatus/ feltkrabbeedderkoppen, and Palomena prasina/grønnebreitege, both found on the tindved.

There are many flowers blooming in the garden right now. One that is particularly important for bees and pollinators is Fagerknoppurt (Centaurea scabiosa). Come and see how many insects are using this plant.
