No. Not the catchy songs that get into your head. Oh no. They're earworms aren't they? I mean those rather unpleasant Dermaptera that I really have never been able to bring myself to like. These:
I'm not even sure why I don't like them. They don't don't sting or bite people. Contrary to popular folklore they don't crawl down people's ears and lay eggs in the brain. (They much prefer dark dank habitats to nice warm bedrooms). They don't as a rule do much harm to our gardens. For all that so far as I am aware I don't know anyone who likes them.
On the other hand I've had a good haul of moths in the last few days as well. These are a few of them. If I've got the names wrong please do correct me.
