## Resource

Think you saw an Asian hornet at a party? It might’ve been a harmless female woodwasp—just a pine tree egg-laying specialist. Spot one with a yellow face and thin waist? Snap a pic and report it to invasives.ie. In the Burren, a sticky-leaved butterwort was found—nature’s fly trap, rare and fascinating. Tiny black bugs on your elder tree? Those are black bean aphids—totally normal, and a favorite snack for ladybugs and birds. At Tramore beach, folks mistook baby Portuguese man o’wars for something else—turns out they’re harmless by-the-wind sailors, floating on the breeze with stinging tentacles too small to bother you. And on Killiney beach, a vibrant six-spot burnet moth was spotted—bright red and black to warn birds it’s not tasty, just like its cousin, the cinnabar moth.
