Littlehampton moths 7 July 2025

FB has been removing my daily moth posts from Sussex Moth group since 6 July, presumably due to its algorithms. There seems to be no way to talk to FB about the problem so I am going to post here and copy to FB. Another member of my group is having the same problem. Perhaps it doesn't like scientific names!
