We are the Friends of Rowley Hills; working with @WTBBC we aim to conserve and enhance the Rowley Hills for the benefit of wildlife and the local community.
1/2 Whilst having a ☕ break because it was 🥵 this Six-belted Clearwing was drawn to the pheromone stored in Mike's bag (zoom in!). What a creature! @EcoRecording@RowleyFriends@WTBBC
We also have this fantastic slo-mo video of a Dusky Thorn moth taken during the event - our free Wordpress plan won't let us post it on the website, but you can watch it here! :)
Six-Belted Clearwing is a very elusive day-flying moth - but moth recorders often use a pheromone lure to attract males. This morning Mike Poulton managed to capture this AMAZING video of 30-40 of them on the Rowley Hills @RowleyFriends
