Bradfield Woods - Life in the Undergrowth

Using my Fuji compact with a close-up attachment gave a great feel of what it is like to be an insect deep in the leaves. Caterpillar is that of a Vapourer Moth and the next image a Silver Y moth. The delicate Ichneumon is injecting its egg into a grub living in the knapweed head. The last image, not so welcome, is a mite waiting to jump onto a passing host - usually dogs, deer, cattle.
