Thanks to other kind folk on today's @norfolknats.bsky.social walk at Ashwellthorpe Wood, here's Encoelia furfuracea (Spring Hazelcup) and Byssomerulius corium (Netted Crust) on Hazel, and witches broom galls on Hornbeam likely caused by Taphrina carpini. Bit cool for many insects sadly.

It was just announced on his facebookpage that Tristan Lafranchis has passed away 😞 A big loss for amateur lepidopterists in Europe, his accessible #butterfly ID-books have opened a world to a lot of us. As you can see, mine are heavily used. His legacy will surely live on. 🦋

The Corfu Butterfly Survey is just 246 butterfly sightings short of having recorded 100,000 butterflies. We can reach this goal before the end of the year if you record any sightings of butterflies from Corfu on our website: corfubutterflyconservation.org, before 31st December 2024.
