A quick check of Gorse bushes at NWT Sweet Briar Marshes today and I found my first Gorse Lacebugs (Dictyonota strichnocera) and the capsid bug Platycranus bicolor (at least I think it is!).

A Mullein plant at NWT Sweet Briar Marshes, Norwich yielded some nice finds today - Mullein Aphids (Aphis verbasci), Ant Nest Ladybird (Platynaspis luteorubra) and Lacebug Acalypta parvula. I have seen lots of reports of the ladybird this year so it was really great to find one (only my second).

What an absolute stunner!

This lovely Death's-head Hawkmoth was found in Caversham by Philip Jones, on his allotment. He very kindly gave it me to look after and it has now burrowed down into the soil to pupate.
