Original Hedgerow Foggy, then bright.
|
Two shots from the Hedgerow. The moth on the left is the Shaded Broad-Bar. On the right you can see a ripe fruit of the Snowberry.
|
Two airborne seeds. On the left, the Spear Thistle (with attendant Bumblebee) and the seeds of the Rosebay Willowherb just flying on the right.
|
This so-called Artichoke Gall on the Oak is caused by Andricus fecundator, a gall wasp.
|
The very little (15mm.) bee was gathering pollen in sacs under the wings. You can just see the orange colouring. The pink flower in the background is Red Bartsia.
|
This caterpillar under the Alder behaved very strangely. It kept curling into a circle when disturbed. It's the larva of the Alder Sawfly - Eriocampa ovata. About 15 mm. long.
Thanks to Carl for the id. |
