As with many outings recently, the promised sunshine for Wednesday's CCC trip to Wicken Fen did not arrive till 4pm when we had all started for home. However, after a morning playing with filters and landscape photography, we migrated into the Fen and started the ugly bug hunt. Among the prize winners were this fly, a Picture Wing fly (Dasymetopa species), Speckled Bush Cricket, Meadow Grasshopper, a rather shy Short-Winged Conehead, a Green Capsid, a very small beetle (Oulema melanopus), a snail with the fly whose larvae eat snails (Ilione albiseta) and various Hoverflies on Fleabane flowers.
