Talkback: Mullein moth

this year. They are happily munching their way through a beautiful verbascum that I planted last year and I am so happy that they have chosen my garden to breed in. You should advise gardeners, and I am a gardener, that wildlife should be treasured by Lovemoths

toads and frogs

Snails - the French have the right idea
