Observations August 2023

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

If you look closely, you will see more and more creatures in the garden. And often certain insects are bound to a certain family of flower species. In this way you will soon have dozens of species, each with their preferences. In the summer I read the booklet Mijn 1000 soorten tuin. The biologist tries to determine 1000 species in a year in his garden of 200 m2, including the sky that he sees. He came to 1518 species. 400 moths requires a biologist I think, but it shows how many species there are in gardens.
