Tomorrow’s full moon falls in Weodmōnaþ, the Anglo-Saxon name for August. Writing in AD 725, Bede explains it means “month of weeds”, referring to plants flourishing abundantly at this time. The Anglo-Saxons measured their months by the course of the moon. #FolkloreThursday

Colchester wild fun today: around the Meanwhile garden, Toadflax Brocade caterpillar and the tiny groundbug Nysius huttoni; a Hummer resting on the Minories folly; and in Castle Park, under a Lawson's Cypress an Orsillus depresses bug dropped on us. Both bugs new to us.

🔍 Species Spotlight: Willow Emerald Damselfly
First recorded breeding in Britain in 2009, this species has spread rapidly ever since.
Look for its metallic green body and unusual habit of perching with its wings held outstretched!
Flying now into autumn, so keep an eye out. 📸

It’s not too late to plant carrots and beets in August! 🌱 In the Northern Hemisphere, these cool-weather crops can thrive in the late summer. Sow seeds now, and enjoy a fresh autumn harvest. Just be sure to keep the soil moist and mulch to retain moisture. 🥕🌱 #Gardening #Fall
