Ideal weather (warm, sunny and still) yesterday for our macro session at Paxton hunting out the small inhabitants who go unnoticed most of the time. Several new species for me including this Gorse Shieldbug found on the open Redlands area and a nationaly scarce species of leaf bug Raglius alboacuminatus (unfortunately not the best technical image!). It was also good to record the Pantless Darth Vader Spider on the border at the visitor centre - a long name for a very small spider, and a couple of Weevil beetles with their long snouts - Tatianaerhynchites aequatus can compete for length of name versus size of adult.
