Every part is edible and it's one of the first flowers to feed bees each spring โ€” a so-called "weed" that outsmarts every lawn.

More moths from Soldaterskoven.
I noticed a funny thing that I made sure to mention to a fellow bat conservation colleague.
I always bring a borrowed bat detector, and for the first hours of mothing mosquitoes are eating me alive. As soon as the detector starts going of the amount of mosquitoes drop sharply. Whether it is because the bats gobble them up really fast or because the skeeters seek cover, I don't know, but it is points in favour of bats as efficient pest management.

I had been looking forward to setting up the LepiLED in the grazed section of of the forest, and it definitely paid off wonderfully.
156 observations in a night and 8 species I hadn't seen before. I didn't get home until the sun was up.

I love the term #Bloomscrolling. Here's some orange hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca) I saw recently on a day trip.

The bold pattern on its back strikingly resembles a human face, making it one of nature's most uncanny natural illusions.
