Back on Mastodon after a trip to Shetland. I'll be sharing my wildlife encounters, starting with a puffin.

De retour sur Mastodon après un voyage aux Shetland. Je vous partagerai mes rencontres avec la faune et pour commencer un macareux.

Research conducted recently in the US confirmed that carrying pollen raises bumblebee body temperature.
Temperature of #bumblebees carrying pollen was shown to be a lot higher than that of #bees with empty pollen baskets.

On the flip side heatwaves also reduce the quantity of nectar produced by plants which means less food available to #bumblebees already suffering from heat stress. So the #bees may throw in the towel and go home!

A close-up photo of a vibrant blue and green dragonfly perched on a lichen-covered tree branch. The dragonfly's delicate, transparent wings show intricate vein patterns, and its dark eyes and slender legs are clearly visible. The background is dark and blurred, highlighting the sharp details of the insect and the branch.

Today's #MothOfTheDay is a plain, but neat and tidy sandy coloured moth with two white diamond shaped dot stigmata:

THE CLAY
mythimna ferrago

A common moth whose caterpillars feed on grasses, dandelions and chickweed.

Overhead shot of a 1.5cm moth on a finger. It is arrowhead shaped and robust looking (ie not flat like a butterfly). Its wings are held over its chunky abdomen. Imagine you could hold its abdomen between finger tips and launch it like a tiny paper aeroplane; it's that kind of shape and structure. It is sandy coloured with a faint salmon pink hue coming through. It is lightly peppered with random black dots, including a a more distinct row of black dots that run horizontally wing edge to wing edge towards the bottom in a very shallow W shape. Just above this line, in the centre of each wing it has a white dot, almost diamond shaped (or sometimes tear-drop shaped). It has a hexagonal shock of short, sandy coloured fur on top of its head.

# 153 contd.

Research indicates that heatwaves directly hinder #bumblebee foraging through thermal stress on the #bees.
Less time is spent actively foraging and the number of plants and #flowers they visit is reduced.

Today's #MothOfTheDay is a little worn and faded (aren't we all?!), but is relevant to the month.

JULY HIGHFLYER
hydriomena furcata

Geometers (flatties, rather than fatties) tend to be flighty and not very photo-compliant and need no invitation to fly away. Thankfully, this one landed on some shrubbery.

Overhead shot of an equilateral triangle flat moth on a green leaf. It is quite worn and faded. It is a reddish-brown colour with dark tiger stripes that extend horizontally from the wing edges but stop before reaching the centre. There is a thicker dark bad running the full horizontal distance near the very bottom of the wing. But its main feature is the two dark arches in the middle of its wings (one each side) which resemble a pair of eyebrows. It has a tiny head with two pinhead eyes either side and two wiry antennae stretching left and right.

Arrêtons ces conneries de les sous-estimer, de les écrabouiller, de les empoisonner, etc... ça devrait être une espèce protégée!!

Surtout que c'est très utile, et nous protège du frelon asiatique.

Aujourd'hui il a un peu léché ma main, a fait sa toilette, puis je l'ai mis sur une feuille d'arbre.
Il était un peu fatigué.
