Bugs

Fairlawn Road produced some good bugs today. There was my first 7-Spot Ladybird along with a couple of Harlequins, a Dark Bush Cricket, a Nursery-web Spider, a Green Shieldbug and a Sawfly sp. Some good hoverflies too, with a smart-looking Xanthogramma, a Xylota segnis, a Helophilus pendulus and a couple of Myathropa florea. An attractive Crane-fly in the Nephrotoma family was a good find and, best of all, a Wasp Beetle basking on a leaf. A Speckled Wood butterfly was also present.

At the station there was a teneral Azure Damselfly and a Rose Chafer. A Jackdaw flew over and a Blackcap sang.
