2nd October |
Deforested area.
Heavy showers. |
A rolled leaf always gets my attention. What will it be?...a moth?....spider?...micromoth? Nope. An Earwig, probably using an abandoned shelter.
|
Scathophagus dungflies always interest me. Dung-eaters as larvae and voracious predators as adults. |
The Nematus larvae are still hanging on, although we're down to about 100 specimens from the original 1000. The individual to the right shows a disadvantage of communal living: higher specimens have to drop their dung somewhere.
|
I'm still trying to make up my mind if this Raspberry-eating sawfly larva is the same species as the one from 10 August. Arge gracilicornis if so. |
A Meadow Buttercup straggler. |
