Regulate your nervous system with this red-necked footman moth in Little Druim Wood, Scotland 🦋

Ancient woods like this are our richest and most complex land habitat in the UK. They’re home to more threatened species than any other 🌳

Having existed for at least 250 years, these woods are a haven for birds, insects, plants and fungi that are found nowhere else 🪲

They also play a major role in protecting our mental health! 💭

Research has shown that woods that are rich in wildlife are more likely to boost the wellbeing of people visiting them than less biodiverse woods 🔎

Ancient woods aren’t just good for wildlife. They’re good for us too! 💚
