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.
One of 4 Bryony Ladybirds in the garden this morning, along with a Bryony Mining Bee. Two rare insects.
Thanks Megan
Something for ‘mothers’ in July.
Thanks Sarah, I hope you get plenty of chances to put it to use in the next few months.
So, just watching ’The Other Bennett Sister’ and I see the Box Tree Moth was around in Jane Austen’s time! Oh dear.
Pleased it’s finally out now, Stephen and good to hear you like it.
Today is the official launch date of the 6th edition of ‘Dragonflies’. Also, nice review by Peter Mill in the @britishdragonflies.bsky.social magazine.

Been really looking forward to this book, so got myself a copy on Thursday and I just love it - so informative, and really rather beautiful as well. Can't wait to get out and put it to practical use...roll on the summer! 🦗
