The fabulous world of Lepidoptera has inspired a fun thread on blue sky, which inspired me to collect some of my photos of moths and butterflies seen in our garden, and a list of moth professors I admire.

First up, here’s a list of moth profs on bluesky social media.

The Bluesky list includes Robin Ince, and I recommend a listen to the Infinite Monkey Cage podcast about Butterflies vs Moths. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002fxn9

My ‘Moths Profs List’ also includes author Tom Cox, as it was his thread that started me off on listing moth profs. You should probably visit his website and buy some books. https://www.tom-cox.com/

Alternatively, you could try a guessing game to identify the butterflies spotted in our garden. Post your guesses in the comments if you want to play along. There’s a moth and a dragonfly in there too. I’ll post the answers soon…

Today it was light until 5.30 pm here in Somerset, UK, which makes a pleasant change and suggests that spring is just around the corner.

I hope you’re enjoying some blue skies wherever you are,
