a bit like little brown jobbers, many invertebrates do not get named
at least by me, a worm, moth, spider, beetle etc and a description is a start
another aspect is when it got seen
a caddis fly is a caddis fly for a party
dragonflies, umm, most of their time they are aquatic monsters
bees are sneaky, one species can look like several depending on their role
it often takes more than a passing familiarity for me to be able to reliably name most critters for species and gender
does it/might it bite etc I'm often not much better at that either
on the plus side, wildlife is as confused about me |

the odd weather has had strange effects on timings, late and early seem to be going for at the same time
not ideal for most species, a few seem thriving, quite a few new ones and a lot absent
on a happy note, a 5 min flora survey of 20M of pavement and gutter at the front of the house eyeballed 28 spp, about 23 with names or at least known as not food meds or otherwise useful
about 12 are medicinal, a few are ok as food in specific ways
if it was meadow it would be considered biodiverse
bug news, quite a few, some new ones, locals up and down in numbers
the coaltit is feeding nestlings, the new bracks are settled, sparrows busy
the new huge gulls are eating as much as they can from the pub skip and bin(see rats and return to sender)
it might be the end of an era for rat town quite soon as "matters are being attended to"
if any turn up during any future evictions, they will be returned to their owners
there is wildlife and there is vermin, i like a pub full of wildlife, i have been wildlife
lots of ways to skin vermin, EHO folk are quite good at making hats if they are offered a design handy knowing where the legal side of things could as well
rat outbreaks are rather upsetting to several spp and to me |
