Cloudy and hot.
A Chrysomelid on Willow, but I don't know which one.
Downy Rose buds are ripening nicely. The flowers on this specimen are palest pink when open, so probably a hybrid.
Luzula multiflora - Heath Woodrush - is only found in a couple of locations - usually near water, but always with dry feet.
Marsh Cinquefoil - Potentilla palustris - is so dramatically different from the rest of the family that it's difficult to believe that it is actually a Potentilla, although the leaves could be slightly reminiscent of Silverweed.
The immigrants have arrived. This Painted Lady - Vanessa cardui - has flown from Africa. I didn't see any last year.
And the Silver Y moth is also an immigrant. Autographa gamma.
The Speckled Wood is still frequent enough, but the Green-veined Whites are definitely declining in this generation.
A rust on Raspberry.
This Sawfly appeared to have a grey face/under thorax, but I'm pretty sure it was just pollen.
A late indoor shot of Buff Ermine - Spilosoma luteum.
