Another one from Norfolk this summer, Euthrix potatoria aka the drinker. Nothing to do with potatoes...

Another fave find this summer - Papilio machaon. Lots of larvae but unfortunately didn't see any adults. Makes me want to watch Alice in Wonderland...

Feeling very wintery in Exeter today, not many inverts (or people) about!

First Monday back at work after leave, someone has left me a Red admiral on my desk. Where's the data though?!

Returning to the UK this year after 18 months away, I started up my pan species list again this summer. Here's one of my summer additions, the figwort sawfly (Tenthredo scrophulariae). #insect #hymenoptera
