I've always been a bit of a science nerd (I think it runs in the family, my two sisters are geneticists) and for some reason the story of the peppered moth is the one that has stuck in my head since I first heard it all those years ago, tonight I was talking to L about them and got the idea for this paper cutting and shot :)
Bearded Tits were around Westhay early this morning. Lots of "Pinging" sounds, Overflights and staying low in the reeds. Sometimes more photographers than birds, so many thanks to those that had to move tripods etc so I that I could move around on the walk ways. Lovely to see you all and catching up with recent sightings.
Parabiotic with Messor spp, Pheidole pallidula, Tapinoma magnum.
[Euryopis Menge 1868: 75 (IT: 8) spp]
E. episinoides is a tiny Theridiidæ occurring in southern Europe. It builds a small retreat made of few strands of silk under rocks or any flat object. This species was found to catch only ants in nature, particularly of the genus Messor. It hunts prey on the ground without the use of web. The spider positions itself near an ant trail with its prosoma on the ground and its abdomen and a pair of hind-legs outstretched and raised in the air and waits until a prey passes by. It catches prey by throwing strands of silk drawn from spinnerets. In the laboratory, the spiders were able to catch few prey types, including flies. Adaptive significance of food imprinting and associated learning may differ between specialists and generalists. Associated learning may be more important than food imprinting for generalist species, as they need to consume a wide variety of prey types in order to balance their nutrient intake. It is also advantageous in a changing environment where different types of prey co-occur. Food imprinting, on the other hand, should be important for specialists as they need to consume only one or a few closely related prey (e.g. ants) which shows rather stable occurrence. Food imprinting should allow actively searching specialised predators to optimise their foraging behaviour and to focus on cues of their focal prey.

I didn't trap last night (should have, in retrospect!), but this morning i took a nice cycle-ride around Fairford leys, Aylesbury, and at various lamps near the shops found:-
Sallow moth (3);
Pink-barred sallow (1);
Common wainscot (1);
Feathered thorn (1) - NFY;
Red-green carpet (1) - NFY.
So it pays to have sharp eyes around street lamps and shopping areas!
ODC-Moody Blues
Taken just as the sun was shining through the trees. I love how the little sun-flare just touches the rim of the glass.
The link is of Leann Rhimes singing Blue. This song was originally written for Patsy Cline (one of my faves) but Patsy died in a plane crash before she had a chance to record it. So happy Leann recorded it, she does it justice!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GozdIQx1Wow
