Mastodawn

Today I learned that there have never been so few butterflies counted in the Netherlands as this spring. Ever since I was a child I have seen the number decrease and that hurts me. More than 70% loss of biodiversity during my lifetime and I want this to stop. Time for a change of mentality for nature and therefore for our future.

Noctua comes as today's timeline cleanser. I probably passed this beautiful moth a few times before I noticed it. A perfect camouflage for my fence.

Portrait of a Pyrausta aurata (Mint moth) on Mentha (Mint). This is a diurnal moth with a small wingspan 10-15 mm. This adorable little butterfly friend is my timeline cleanser of the day 🤎

Maybe somebody could determine this butterfly for me? Anyway, it's today's timeline cleanser 😃

Today's Timeline cleanser is a macro detail of a butterfly Vanessa cardui on Eupatorium cannabinum.

I love these creatures! Some look very cute, some a bit monstrous and some, like this one, look like they came out of a comic book. But with their wings they are all beautiful!
