Bugs and Bigger
Hello again everybody, I am back :) Firstly I have some local inverts to share with you. The ladybird larva are firstly a 7-spot, and secondly a harlequin. They are both surviving together quite happily on the large patch of nettles on the local lake. There are even some 2-spot ladybird larva, but no photos of them unfortunately. Next is Mummy's new babies. These are Steatoda grossa babies (a sub-species of False Widow) and aren't they just the most gorgeous little things with their rather red bottoms! They are also voracious. The fruit flies are twice their size, but they take them down with hardly a pause! Amazing to watch. From the garden last month we had a kitty cat AGAIN. They are coming more regularly now! A greedy crow - well I guess it does have young to feed at the moment. I wonder how long before the young are coming in to take all the food too?? The hedgehog once again - mummy needs to get a hedgehog shelter and proper hedgehog food,...
