Starting slowly #SpiderADayForMay. Everyone starts somewhere & #Spiders are sooooo cool. Here is spider #1 Enjoying an aphid snack. (Rose garden enthusiasts take note) Heliphanus species or the 'Sun' Jumping spider. #whatsnottolike

Is there a word for cosmetic archaeology? There should be. Currently indulging in an aroma fuelled soak thanks to these beauties......#90's

@stuttonsparrows @savebutterflies Yes, that's a great word Mark, a really smart little moth and it was a joy.

[ArableEmily #formerlyknownasweeds @arableplants]

First moth trap of the season today and amongst the many small quakers a new species for me I think.....Orthosia miniosa, Blossom underwing I believe. A real beauty. @savebutterflies

[ArableEmily #formerlyknownasweeds @arableplants]

@stuttonsparrows Excellent 👌

[ArableEmily #formerlyknownasweeds @arableplants]

@MartineFenn Yep. Even more amazing in real life!

I could try and say something relevant, topical, profound even on the general state of everything. However what I feel I need is a small, purple, sea lavender weevil. So here it is. #Nature

20 yrs ago I drove to a farm visit in my Peugeot 205. On Radio 1, Blue, (Boy band in their 20s). Today, Peugeot 2008 to same farm, Radio 2, Blue, (Man band in 40s)!! Wildlife flourished in that time & there is much more to come, including arable plants! #Continuity #Conservation

Feb 14th. A day to reflect on things you love. So a little video to celebrate my coming out of hibernation on socials. Looking forward to the new season of all things arable plant and invert! #formerlyknownasweeds

@NHarnser @BritishSpiders I think these may be a favourite.

[ArableEmily #formerlyknownasweeds @arableplants]

A late flowering rose, autumnal sunshine, a Robin claiming his 'patch'. Quiet space for contemplation. #NatureTherapy

[ArableEmily #formerlyknownasweeds @arableplants]

Got my harvest in before the wind ruins them! Really chuffed with the result!

#Spider #Saturday one of my faves from the heaths. @NHarnser

[ArableEmily #formerlyknownasweeds @arableplants]

An excellent day today focussed on Reptiles & Amphibians. Great bunch of folk from a range of organisations & backgrounds sharing learning, science, sitings and ENTHUSIASM. Really uplifting day in the world of conservation. Plus I got to see some great conservation pals as well!

If #spiders were supermodels..........perfecting that middle distance look A/W 2025 ...Attulus Saltator......@BritishArachno1 @NHarnser

Whether or not it had a cunning plan was unclear.
