The Small World at Paxton

 Last Tuesday, I took part in the monthly wildlife survey at a chosen area of Paxton Pits.

There was a huge abundance and diversity of insects and other invertebrates so I could only record a fraction of the species. Here are some of the more photogenic subjects. The Green leafhopper comes in two forms - the first with jade green wing cases, the second with blue .
