Lots of Orange-tips around. My favourite butterfly, so I thought I’d paint a male on Cuckoo Flower, with egg from a visiting female.
Peach Blossom. One of my favourites. #moths
Collared Parachute for #StickOfTheWeek … and what a stick it is. #FungiFriends

Marsh Fritillaries Euphydryas aurinia starting to fly at some of the Dartmoor, Devon sites over the weekend. One was caught by a carnivorous Sundew but plenty survived to start the next generation of these rare and beautiful butterflies.
Found Dodder (Cuscuta sp.) for the first time today up on the heath wrapped around heather. Crazy looking. It really stood out. What an interesting plant. Parasitic.
