Just for a change a lurch
into an invitation in nature study. Real
nature, not what some may think. This is
about a seasonal feature of our environment which probably affects many of us.
The great question that
most have either been asked or have made is the urgent one "What
is that on the ceiling " followed by a debate about who is going
to deal with it when it has been identified.
I am grateful to the UK
Nature Blog for this one, a site which has some great pictures of our lesser
known and rarely pictured creatures.
It is a serious matter, in
that as our way of living changes so much that of the many and various
creatures that either live with us or upon whom we impact will change, often
for the worse.
There are no prizes and no
fame to be gained from adding your contribution to this study apart from the
satisfaction of doing something useful.
If encountered kindly
leave the creature at the end of the garden.
Only this week my wife pointed to a small translucent something where wall meets ceiling. I poked at it and it turned out to be a caterpillar in a cocoon. Presumably a moth.
