Asian hornets are a non-native predator of honeybees and other insects. If you think you’ve seen one, report it via the #AsianHornet Watch app 📲 But they are easily confused with native species. In a short video @UKLadybirds explains how to tell the difference 👀 @britishbee

Fascinating to see what the @BBCSpringwatch Moth trap caught from the field margin site. For help with your own IDs, don't forget the What's Flying Tonight app lists some of the larger species likely to be in your area for the time of year #MothsMatter
