IMG_5035_butterfly garden.jpg The Bowland Wild Boar Park is a tourist attraction that lies in a remote area of Bowland near Chipping in Lancashire, UK. The site is off grid, having no mains electricity. The whole site is powered by solar PV panels, with solar water heaters and a wind turbine, with a diesel generator providing backup power. This shot shows the butterfly garden planted with native flowering plants to attract butterflys

IMG_3370_cocoon.jpg Nests of the Pine Processionary Caterpiller (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) in pine trees in the Sierra Nevada mountains of southern Spain. These moth caterpillars attack and eat the pine needles, damaging the trees. They are responding to climate change by surviving at ever higher altitudes in the mountains as temperatures rise, allowing them to damage more trees. These caterpillars have a very effective defence mechanism. They are covered in thousands of tiny poisonous hairs called Trichomes. If handled these minute hairs cause irritation. They even release these trichomes into the air if the nest is approached.

IMG_1340_beeswax.jpg A beehive in Cockermouth, Cumbria, UK that has been infected and damaged by the Varoa mite. The Varoa mite is a parasite of honeybees that has increased hugely in recent years as a result of milder winters caused by climate change. The mite attacks both the adults and brood bees, sucking their blood and causing damage. Many bee colonies around the world, have collapsed due to the mite, deeply worrying as honeybees are resposible for pollinating the majority of food crops that humas rely on for food.

IMG_8232 (1)_pollination.jpg Hveragerdi in South West Iceland sits on the Varma river and is a geothermal hot spot, with steam rising from fumeroles right in the middle of town. It has been used for nealry 100 years for growing vegetables in greenhouses using the geothermal heat. Here tomatoes are grown all year round using geothermal heat., amd are pollimated by colonies of bumble bees.

IMG_0018_tick.jpg A ticke removed by a specialist tick removal device. Climate change has lead to warmer winters and better survival rates for ticks. As a result they have become far more common and widespread in the UK. The rates of Lymes disease which the ticks carry have increased dramatically in recent years. One of many health issues that climate change poses.
