  1. #MothOfTheDay is a flighty little beggar. Content in a pot for a minute, but not on my lolly stick.

    SMALL BLOOD VEIN
    Scopula imitaria

    Wingspan of about 2.5cm, so quite small.
    Common in SE UK, and inhabits pretty much anywhere, especially waste ground and coastal dunes.

    They fly so far when migrating -

    "A tagged butterfly released in Elkton, on the lower Umpqua River, was tracked the next day 35 miles away, Coffan said."

  16. #RockportME - #PollinatorFriendly Vs. #Ornamental Flowers

    April 8 @ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
    #RockportPublicLibrary

    "#Birds, #bats, #bees, #butterflies, #beetles, and other small mammals are integral pollinators whose natural activities sustain our ecosystems. However, many people fill their gardens with over-hybridized plant varieties that have been bred for their ornamental value. #DoubleBlooms, exotic species, and other engineered qualities — while pretty — create plants that are difficult for all pollinators and can be detrimental to local habitats when cultivated in large numbers (like pollenless sunflowers).

    "Maine Master Gardener Volunteer #JohnFromer will discuss varieties of flowering plants that are both beautiful and valuable to our local pollinators, give examples of non-pollinator friendly flowers, and provide tips for growing these in the #Midcoast region.

    "This talk is part of the Rockport Library’s Spring Horticulture Series in partnership with Merryspring Nature Center."
