18th September 2022: Post 2 of 2-Ibsley Common in the New Forest

Following on from my previous post, we then walked at Ibsley Common in the New Forest this afternoon where it was nice to have another really peaceful walk, taking in the beautiful scenes of bits of purple heather and lush green in trees in this moor like undulating landscape with a nice wood and stream taken in too. There was great sunshine for a lot of the walk. I took the first five and seventh and eighth pictures in this photoset of views on the walk and the sixth of some bracken lit nicely by the sun I was actually aiming to take a photo of the Stonechat sat in it I kept two versions in the end one cropped of the Stonechat which I tweeted on Dans_Pictures tonight and the view as I thought it looked nice.

There were some great birds seen on the walk; one of my favourites the Dartford Warbler briefly, Stonechat well, Meadow Pipit, lots of Swallows moving through once more, Mistle Thrush and Woodpigeon with a Blue Tit heard I believe. What I believe was a Southern Hawker dragonfly flying at the end, a beautiful iridescent beetle either Dor beetle or Splendid Earth Boring beetle if the former seen nicely again after some last Sunday at Pig Bush and three weeks ago at Martin Down and New Forest ponies again were other nice sightings here this afternoon. As we enjoyed an ice cream by Rockford on the way back, one of a few great relaxing time off things to do we have enjoyed doing between everything else this week, there were some gorgeous coloured ponies kissed by the afternoon sun. In the car there was an interesting looking insect or it may have been a spider on the window beside me.

The Ibsley Common walk was a good one for flowers with ragwort, more devil’s-bit scabious after last Sunday, more lovely freshly flowering yellow gorse a little theme this week, hawksbeard, daisy I seem to recall, the purple heather and some smashing harebells seen well looking especially lovely in the sun flowers I do admire.

I took the final two pictures in this photoset of a nice sky scene and yellow buddleia in the back garden when home this evening, there was more nice red at sunset this evening which I enjoyed out the back. It is a bank holiday tomorrow but it felt most appropriate to reflect this evening how today brought to an end a quickly passing but wonderful patch of leave for us. It was packed full of adventure, lots of bird, mammal, butterfly, dragonfly and flower sightings and others making it a key week of my wildlife and photography year and putting me in strong positions for a few of my year lists this year, so many photo opportunities in mostly fantastic weather at a perfect mix of familiar and new places for us, local and further afield. Along the way meeting some wonderful people, some of which we had met before and some we saw more than once at different places, allowing for much social interaction. And it was so relaxing. Thanks for all your support for my photos and posts this week. It will be a hard and historic day tomorrow for the UK with the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. I hope you all have a good and safe new week.

Moth of the Week

Antler Moth

Cerapteryx graminis

The antler moth is a part of the family Noctuidae. It was first described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus. This moth gets its name from the antler shaped mark in its forewings.

Description This moth species has brown forewings, with a “basal streak” of white that branches out. This mark may vary in size per moth. The forewings show a mirrored pattern of the base brown broken up by the branches and a few spots and lines of lighter brown. The forewing also may or may not have black streaks. The hindwing is dark brown with a white fringe.

Males are smaller than females with fluffier antennae.

Male Wingspan: 27 - 32mm (≈1.06 - 1.26in)

Female Wingspan: 35 - 39mm (≈1.38 - 1.53in)

Diet and Habitat The larva of this species feeds on grasses such as Deschampsia, Sheep’s-fescue (Festuca ovina), Mat-grass (Nardus stricta) and Purple Moor-grass (Molinia caerulea). It has also been found on sedges and rushes. When the larva population is concentrated enough, they can damage pastures. Adults feed on flowers such as thistles and ragworts.

This species is common through most of Europe. It’s northernmost reach is Iceland and above the Arctic Circle. It’s easternmost reach is Siberia and North Mongolia. This moth does not occur in the dry southern regions of Europe. It has been introduced to North America. Additionally, this species inhabits the Alps. They prefer habitats of grassland, favouring acid upland pasture, moorland and downland.

Mating Adult moths are seen flying from July to September. They presumably mate in this time frame.

Predators This moth flies during the day, especially in the north, warm weather, and early mornings, and at night. They are presumably preyed on by both daytime and night time predators like birds and bats. They are attracted to light. To protect themselves during the day, this moth hides in the grass.

Fun Fact The antler moth rises to an altitude of 2100 meters in the Alps.

Cinnabar moths and their famously toxic caterpillars are the reason I let a small amount of ragwort grow in my back garden every year. It's a prolific self-seeking weed so it needs a bit of, uhhh... Management, to keep it from taking over the place (and infuriating my neighbours - we have side to side and back to back gardens, in classic UK urban rows.) But it's worth it to get 2 generations a year of these striking moths and stripey blorbs!

The caterpillars absorb the toxins in ragwort and wear aposematic bold colours to warn birds that they taste poisonously bad. They're also covered in stinging hairs - never touch them. Truly. N E V E R. I accidentally brushed past one while taking a pic a couple of years ago. The stings felt like nettles but x100 more so, and took weeks to fully disappear. [EDIT: just heard that cinnabar caterpillar hairs aren't stinging but that some people have skin reactions to caterpillar hairs. So the cinnabar 'stings' could actually be contact dermatitis - worth bearing in mind before you hug catepillars I guess?]

They pass their toxins on when they metamorphose, so the moth is also toxic with DGAF colouration. They're day-flying too - I guess if you're that toxic, you're not worried about being eaten by daytime birds.

Because they're bivoltine (have 2 generations a year) it's common to see cats and adults at the same time, and different generations of caterpillars on the same plant - as you can see in the 1st 2 pics.

tried to translate some Clangen names:

Minkthroat - Nheemleh

i couldn't find something for throat on the lexicon so I went for tongue because I though that fit as well.

Boragenut - Couldn't find one for borage, but nekboq worked for nut, so maybe uhssa for bush might have the same effect - so uhssanekboq for her

Voidpatch - not sure what to do with him, so I went for Hhoelkonpen

Curlystar - Fofwarrlshai

Owlspeckle - Huowoowoo (i love this one so much)

Asternettle - Luoobpokal (I couldn't find a translation for Aster, so I chose Luoob because I like both the names)

Briarears - Pik'kaira

Ramblingpatch - Abababkonpen

Fallenheart - Fewlbabi

Huowoowoo takes the cake, I also gotta shout out Pik'kaira. That one's also fun to say! Pik'ka Ira!

Let's get you some new words-- and start with ASTER, because it's going to be a bit quirky! Old World Asters (of the genus aster) have issues growing this far north.

But they do have a ton of plants in the asteraceae family. IN FACT, dandelions are one of them! Feverfew, chamomile, thistles, daisies, salsify, cornflower, heliotrope, goldenrod... it's a BIG family.

Asters

So, here's a few interesting asteraceae that would make cool symbolic names, and you can translate any of these as simply "aster" in a name. Clan cats don't have cladistics after all, lmao

Common Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica) = Skfom (From Itch + Again = Contraction.) In humans, you can see right there in the scientific name that it was historically used as a treatment for dysentery, and in the common name that it repels fleas. In cats, it's a skin irritant and a poison. A desperate cat in the midst of a flea infestation will resort to this to treat themselves, if the Cleric's overwhelmed. Its name is a comment on its cruelty-- it will relieve you temporarily, but you'll get a second itch later. Has another English name; Erigeron, which is applied to all fleabanes.

Ragwort (Jacobaea vulgaris) = Bochol OR Ffyy-en-aminama (Pigment + Green) OR (Butterfly + 's + Shanty) An easy source of green dye, but not the BEST source of it due to fading. Known by two names, Clerics tend to prefer Butterfly's Shanty because it evokes an image of the sacred insects dancing around it. Bochol is actually the newer term, appearing sometime in the late Dawn Era alongside advances in dyemaking technology before SkyClan was driven out. Toxic if eaten, HATED by humans for being an agricultural weed, Clan cats value this plant greatly. It feeds many insects, which then feed other animals, which then feed Clan cats. It's also bright yellow and cheerful.

Sea Aster (Tripolium pannonicum) = Osaash (Daisy + Salt) This plant is seen exclusively in salt marsh biomes! Seaside areas that are regularly flooded by saltwater. They're one of the most notable plants encountered by Salt Patrols, and one of the few flowers that can handle salinity. They have a reputation for being hardy, and being a sure sign that you've made it to the ocean.

Throat and Void

Throat's going to be straightforward!

Throat = Au'u Translates directly. The front of the neck.

But void... it doesn't really make sense they have a philosophical concept of the void, you know? They don't even seem to have a concept of zero. So here's some possibilities;

Nothing = Shmo Translates pretty directly. Nothing at all. Absence in general.

No Detectable Smell = Mufm A "smell" often associated with certain things that have crossed through water, or certain mythological figures. Most things have a smell, even if it's faint. Probably the closest metaphorically to "void," because a thing without a smell creates a noticeable absence. There's probably an (ANCIENT) TigerClan folktale about some tiger warrior sent to catch the Void Beast of No Smell, which serves as a kitten tale to help remember non-scent types of tracking methods.

Silence = Uh'hwa The absence of sound or words. Not to be confused with Hah'o, which is a SUDDEN, ominous silencing of all the animal song in an area, usually because they've spotted a predator.

22-Spot Ladybird (Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata)

Distribution: Found in disjointed populations throughout Europe; most common in the northern half of Europe, including the Czech and Slovak Republics, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and the U.K. Has also been reported in the United States, but populations do not seem to have spread significantly.

Habitat: Prefers open habitats, such as forest borders, grasslands, parklands, wastelands and roadsides.

Diet: Fungivore; feeds primarily on the mildews and molds, especially on low-growing shrubs and plants of the Apiaceae family. Commonly found on hogweed, ragwort, creeping thistle, oak and birch.

Description: 22-spot ladybirds are fairly unique among ladybugs due to their fungivorous diet; most ladybugs are carnivorous, feeding on small arthropods like aphids, small spiders, mites and mealy bugs. These insects mainly graze on powdery mildew, a pathogenic fungus that infects plant leaves, causing ailments such as molding and rusts. Though it feeds on a common pathogen, these insects have little use as biological control agents, as they will inoculate new leaves by spreading spores.

A common myth about this insect states that the number of spots it has reflects its age, but this is unfortunately false. The number of spots varies between individuals, but does not vary between years—you'd have a lot of trouble finding a 22-year old ladybug!
