More from the quarry.
Drizzle all day. |
Two leaf beetles. Dock Leaf Beetle - Gastrophysa viridula - on the left, and another unknown on the right.
|
This male Green-veined White (Pieris napi) had just emerged. It took a short, nervous flight shortly after the picture was taken. |
A foretaste of things to come. A few buds of the Fuchsia had emerged. Soon the woods and hedges will be bright red - they're very common locally. |
There were quite a few Marsh Marigolds in the ditch. All had flies on them. This one has two Platychierus hoverflies and two err, flies. |
This Mayfly landed briefly on Kirsty's top. It didn't hang around long enough for me to get a shot of the long tail spikes. |
Finally, a female Bibio marci. You can see how much smaller the eyes are.
