I am back. My Dad has allowed me to try and make a pond. I need some help and suggestions though. Has anyone got any advice for me please? 🙏🏽

Start of the Easter holidays. It seems a bit cold for moths? I did manage to see this Hebrew Character moth! Poor little thing seemed a little chilly! 🥶

This was NOT taken in the wild. Mum and Dad took me to a butterfly house. It was amazing and this was my favourite butterfly. You could actually see through its wings. I think a #GlasswingButterfly.

@iancbeavis @NearbyWild @LGSpace @RoyEntSoc @NatGeo @Britnatureguide @NatureUK @BBOWT @WildMaidenhead @WildlifeTrusts Thank you.

[Mini Beasts UK @MiniBeastsUK]

Help needed please. We found this in out house today in Berkshire, England. On doing a basic search it says its a praying mantis larva. This doesn’t seem to make sense with where we live? Can you help me?

@NearbyWild @LGSpace @RoyEntSoc @Britnatureguide Thank you. It did well to get out of the way of our jumping!

I am back at school now so I can’t go on here as much. This gorgeous, green oak bush cricket was on my Grandma and Grandad’s trampoline.

@TeaDrivenDev Thank you.

[Mini Beasts UK @MiniBeastsUK]

Is this a Noble False Widow? I have heard lots about them and my Dad told me not to pick it up, just in case. Can anyone help me?

We are on holiday in Amsterdam and I saw this bug. I need some help to identify it though please. Is it a Scorpionfly?

[Mini Beasts UK @MiniBeastsUK]

Lovely #OrangeSwiftMoth we found in the garden this morning. Can’t believe how many beautiful moths we are finding now we have started looking!

Another fun morning out trying to find insects. Found this amazing beetle which I think is a tomentose burying beetle? Looks amazing. 🪲

@12beesbuzzing @UpperThamesBC @nicolawriting @NatureBureau @TVERC1 Yes, that is a Brimstone!

[Mini Beasts UK @MiniBeastsUK]

Stunning morning for moths. Another incredible amount of Tigers and then another 16 different species. 💕

[Mini Beasts UK @MiniBeastsUK]

Having seen my first #JerseyTigerMoth the other day we had…53 in and around the trap last night!! As a bit of fun, can you see how many you can spot in this photo? There are a couple of other moth species as well!

@kitenet @UpperThamesBC @ukbutterflies @WildMaidenhead @moths_daily @RoyEntSoc @LGSpace @NearbyWild @BritishMoths @iRecordWildlife You should have seen how many there were! It was amazing.

[Mini Beasts UK @MiniBeastsUK]

So excited to see this stunning #JerseyTigerMoth on our fence at home in Maidenhead. I have never seen one here before. 🙌🏼
