Including the Flesh fly (Sarcophaga carnaria), Phymatodes testaceus beetle as well as Common rustic (Apamea secalis) , Buff-tip (Phalera bucephala), Common wave (Cabera exanthemata) and Northern spinach (Eulithis populata) moths.

This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues.

The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
