Hello from Germany! Great to discover your YT channel; I was lucky to be given one of your books as birthday gift three years ago. I loved it, I'm still laughing every time I remember the passage with the deer, and I've started serving squirrels found dead on the street to my terrified children :-) However, I wonder if I'm the first vet to complain to you...because of the passage about our profession and how we supposedly deal with fleas...actually, I never sell treatments againts fleas/ticks to people not asking for them. But what if they do, or if the animal does bring home ticks? My own cats have brought in so many ticks that my little daughter caught a neuroborreliosis, having half of her face paralized for three weeks and needing tons of antibiotics. I've been treating my cats with isoxazolines ever since. The best way to avoid the situation is not to breed any more pets who might need those drugs I guess. However, I always wanted to find out if the spot on treatment on the skin of the animal ends up in the environment and in what concentration. Forunately, I didn't observe that insects have disappeared from our garden (which looks like your meadow) :) I can't find any information on how spot on medication of pets affects the environment or if it does at all. Love, Nina v. Harlessem
Terrific video (as always): thank-you! My children found one of these (about 30 years ago) which we hoped would pupate and hatch, but unfortunately it had been "got" by some kind of ichneumon, and two small ichneumons emerged from the pupa instead of a beautiful moth ☹️
Marmu!
This really relaxed me, made me smile, got me curious, and makes me feel like reading a book.
Just Subscribed.
Thank you, Dave! 🙏
I don't know if anyone said it in yet, but the red in the tail has venom and can irritate what ever it touches.
This is so cool and amazing!! I hope I can find one in my lifetime! 🥰🥰

Thank you for this. What amazing camouflage, took me a few seconds to work out what I was looking at! 💗

literally my favorite species of moth (* ^ ω ^)
I love these little guys!
The funny part is the name is not pronounced "Pus", it's "Puus" (As in Pussycat)
Gosh caterpillars are so cool
Amazing!
Cool, I didn't know this existed!
Thank you for the video. What kind of leaf is it eating?
goat willow
