Philip Chambers @philipchambers1.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Went to try and see Purple Emperor, came away with Dark Crimson Underwing, Dusky Sallow & a Sulphur Pearl. All new for me...no Emperor mind, but no need to mention that. #moth #mothsmatter #teammoth #mothsofinstagram #lepidoptera 090

Reposted by Philip ChambersUK Butterflies @ukbutterflies.bsky.social · 23/06/2025More from the @greenwingstours.bsky.social tour to the Italian Alps where, today, we had an extreme form of female Spotted Fritillary that had a steely-blue sheen to its wings; a hybrid between Adonis and Chalk Hill Blues, known as polonus; and a cleodoxa form of High Brown Fritillary. What a place! 0468

Philip Chambers @philipchambers1.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Another in an occasional series of videos, where wildlife doesn't do much.

Philip Chambers @philipchambers1.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Comma caterpillar. One to keep an eye on as it will become, hopefully, even better. 3rd instar? @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @bcdevon.bsky.social #caterpillar #caterpillars #commabutterfly #butterflies #butterfly 193
Philip Chambers @philipchambers1.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Ooofff. Chequered Skipper from Allt Mhuic reserve, near Fort William.

Philip Chambers @philipchambers1.bsky.social · 25/10/2024Exactly what you would expect to see underground. From Beer Quarry Caves, Devon. Made in the C15th for a local church, this window was removed by the C19th and returned to the place where the stone originally came from in the 1930s. #stonecarving #stonemasons #stone #craftedinstone 050
