Wednesday 5th August Only the one highlight from my early morning walk but it was a welcome one ; Parornix fagivora : tenanted fold on the tip of a Beech leaf (Garrioch Rd, Maryhill) No previous records of this species for Lanarkshire VC77. Collected to rear through. #teammoth
To all my followers south of the border, this is what you're missing/needing! 🌧️ Video taken from the living room window
Sunday 2nd August Found this beauty of a larva crawling up the side of McDonalds, Maryhill and it looks a lot like Hawthorn Sawfly 'Trichiosoma tibiale' but then again Sawfly larva are tricky to id. #sawflies #invertebrates
Sunday 2nd August It was a nice surprise to find this 'fasciated' Rosebay Willowherb 'Chamaenerion angustifolium' along the F&C Canal, Cadder. Notice the the flat ribbon like stem and the over abundance of flower buds at the top of the stem. #wildflowers
Sunday 2nd August A couple of #butterflies taking advantage of the early morning sunshine, both at Lambhill Stables, Lambhill
Sunday 2nd August There was an autumnal feel in the air this morning and i started my walk off with a couple of #fungifriends
Saturday 1st August Better late than never! I've been searching loads of small Willows for this caterpillar over the last few weeks and this morning at the end of my walk i found 2 on the same Willow 😃 Poplar Hawkmoth 'Laothoe populi' (Garscube Rd) #teammoth
Friday 31st July A veritable mothfest early morning 😉 All 3 were found on the same roadside advertising board on Balmore Rd, Lambhill #teammoth
Thursday 30th July A new leafmine for me but unfortunately both were vacated. Will have to check the tree a few weeks earlier next year for a tenanted one to rear through. Stigmella trimaculella on a Poplar sp (F&C Canal, Whitecrook, Dunbartonshire) #teammoth
Thursday 30th July 7.8 miles walked and only one butterfly seen! Red Admiral 'Vanessa atalanta' (F&C Canal, Yoker) #butterflies

Wednesday 29th July Several days of much needed rainfall have resulted in a few #fungifriends 😃 All from along the Kelvin Walkway
Tuesday 28th July Rearing result, species #26 for the year. Mompha raschkiella : tenanted leafmine on Rosebay Willowherb collected from the F&C Canal, Maryhill 29/06/26 #teammoth
Monday 27th July One of the smaller Caddisflies (forewing length 6mm) and possibly 'Lype phaeopa' found in the doorway of our tenement (Maryhill) #caddisflies #invertebrates
Thursday 23rd July I'm pretty sure this micro is Pammene aurita. I found it on the screens they've put up around Kelvingrove Bandstand. #teammoth
Wednesday 22nd July What few mushrooms are around at the moment are really struggling in this prolonged dry spell...as can be seen by the splitting on the caps & the contorted gills on these Blushers 'Amanita rubescens' We really need some rain soon! #fungifriends
Monday 20th July Right time right place to see this Grey Heron catch its 'Perch' breakfast! (F&C Canal, Maryhill) #birds
Monday 20th July Dark/Grey Dagger agg 'Acronicta tridens/psi' : found in the stairwell of our tenement (Maryhill) #teammoth
Sunday 19th July Rearing result, species #25 for the year. That's one of my bogey moths finally scrubbed off 😀 #teammoth
Clydeside Wild (Dean)@clydesidewild.bsky.social · last mo.Thursday 25th June I thought i was going to miss out on this species again for the 3rd year running but the moth gods were on my side this time 😃 Mompha langiella : tenanted leafmine (top left mine) on Enchanters Nightshade (Kelvin Walkway) #teammoth
