Share this if you want the House of Lords to SAVE OUR SWIFTS. Today Parliamentary peers will vote for or against swift bricks. Labour Peers will be whipped to vote NO, Lib Dem’s YES, & Tories can choose. 🤷♀️ COME ON THE LORDS!!!!!!!

The eye of a rose chafer. So many details in such a small space. With macro photography, thousands of motifs can be found on a single insect.
Richard’s cards are so beautiful - gift them or keep them & frame them - it’s difficult to decide! You’ll definitely need to get a pack to keep as well as a pack (or two) to send.
I'm drawing #Christmas tree cards again – every card has an original sketch. Frame them or gift to someone very special.
Available soon.

Great excitement yesterday as I saw my first Emperor Moth
Such beautiful creatures
It didn’t hang around but it was wonderful just to catch sight of it #mothsmatter #littlethingsmatter #hertfordshire
ALT Image is of a male Emperor Moth Saturnia pavonia (Linnaeus, 1758) It has a large eye-spot on each wing and a very fluffy body & antennae Wingspan 40-60 mm. The spectacular Emperor moth is Britain's only resident member of the Saturniidae family. It is reasonably common over much of Britain, occupying moorland and open country. The males, which have bright orange hindwings, fly during the daytime in search of the greyer females, which fly at night. Both sexes are on the wing in April and May.
