Frequent rain showers.
Two more shots of the Ichneumonid Amblyteles armatorius. The right-hand image is an unusual face-on shot. I had to anticipate the direction of movement and surprise it as it rounded the blade of grass.
The larvae of Cassida rubiginosa - The Bloody-nosed Tortoise Beetle - shelter under an 'umbrella' of their own dung and old skin. The adults are camouflaged and can exude a red fluid from their mouth. This is a creature that takes great care to protect itself at all stages in its life-cycle.
Emmelina monodactyla is our most common Plume Moth. The wings are retracted into a venetian-blind configuration when at rest.
The spores of Male Fern are now falling freely.
A nice face-on shot of the 'Drone-fly' Eristalis pertinax, actually a hoverfly.
Nice antennae on this Ichneumonid.
