I own a tiny little coffee roastery in South Yorkshire, UK. Also a newly graduated environmental scientist interested in plants and insects. Owned by many cats. More questions than answers, always exploring. Occasionally post insects without CW so don't follow if you're bug averse!

After a flurry of rejections I've received an interview for another PhD project. Hopefully this will be less of a disaster than the last one!

Finding a lot of these little hibernating buddies in my garden at the moment. I just put whatever they’re hiding under back and work elsewhere. They’re ruby tiger moth (Phragmatobia fuliginosa) caterpillars I believe

I have been meaning to repot my monstera for a while. Dusty clearly decided I’d put it off too long.

Alys Fowler will be giving a talk on peat bogs and the need for going peat-free in our gardens on 25th March in Sheffield. Hoping they'll also have copies of their book for sale too.

Database of Insects and their Food Plants https://dbif.brc.ac.uk/homepage.aspx

This resource lets you search for specific insects (maybe those local to your area) and what plants they need as food sources, or you can search for specific plants and see what insects they attract

I'm thinking of digging out a pond in my garden. I have a high clay content soil and a high water table, and really want to avoid a plastic liner if possible. A little worried that I'll put all the efforts in and then it won't hold water, although even if the really hot dry summer my garden soil still held moisture. Any tips on creating natural ponds? I don't have the budget for bentonite clay lining.
