Here is a ready for take-off video of a second Blossom Underwing. You can just about make out the pink underwing.

Still very early in the season. Chilly nights = few species/numbers currently.

However, today's #MothOfTheDay is another new species for my garden.

Orthosia miniosa

Larvae feed on oak. Pinkish hue to underwing (see next take off video)

Juniper Shieldbug (Cyphostethus tristriatus). Formerly an uncommon species that fed exclusively on Juniper, it has recently switched to feeding on cypresses and is now becoming fairly common. Found by the cypresses on Lower Bristol Road, #Bath.

@mysterycryptid Is turning people into bugs! A mad scientist is on the loose and capturing people to inject with science juice, transforming them into bugs.

It was such a fun idea I had to get in on it, and Lenora turned me into a teeny little shiny June bug! Say "hi" to beetle-t3rm!

The description is a little dark, but I think it's also funny. Hopefully the survivors can escape and form a teeny bug-person society!
