| Re: Insect of the Day
A good day at Ashdown Forest where lots of Common Heaths + a few Brown Silver-lines plus good sized larvae of Drinker, Oak Eggar + Fox Moth.
Also my earliest ever Emperor dragonfly hawking , 3 Broad-bodied Chasers + a few Large Red Damsels.
Green Tiger, Cardinal (P. serraticornis) + Wasp Beetles were enjoyed by the group but my "insect" of the day wasn't one but a spider. I've only ever seen the species once before from a moth trap in Dorset, but today we had 4 of the incredibly bright green (2 also with 3 on the abdomen) of Micrommata virescens- a stunning beastie! |
