At Kilteevan Tidy Towns we continue to learn about Biodiversity in order to know how best to protect it. Now that the weather is getting a little milder, we are continuing our journey to learn about our Moths. There are around 1,500 moth species in Ireland so identification is an exciting challenge. Michael Bell of Nature Learn was an inspiring mentor as we began to learn.
We are working with Moths Ireland on this project and have a licence for our work, All records are submitted to The National Biodiversity Data Centre. Our thanks to the National Parks at Wildlife Service for supporting us on this journey.
We identified 10 species . Our photos show two beautiful, distinctive species
Brindled Beauty Lycia hirtaria
Streamer Anticlea derivata.
One of the first flowers of Spring spotted on Cloonlarge Loop today.
This beautiful native wild flower is Colt’s- foot. The flowers appear before the large heart shaped leaves. A cheery, bright flower that would brighten any day.
Kilteevan Tidy Towns is delighted to announce that we are now in a position to host the two free events which we had to postpone in August due touenexpected circumstances.
Join us on September 10th and 24th
