July 7th Local Wildlife

This is probably the largest Flower Spider I have found locally and certainly one of the most colourful. The garden is full of young spiders and insects including this year's host of Cinnabar caterpillars making short work of the ragwort flowers (we have plenty!!), the Green Shieldbugs that have hatched from their eggs and starting to explore and a young Red Plantbug. Two interesting Gall-forming Flies, Pondskater and a green-eyed Chrysopilus fly complete the line up.
