Chapman’s Well

 A canny walk around a small part of Chapman’s Well nature reserve at the beginning of this month. There were loads of Butterflies on the wing but unfortunately not many Shieldbugs or Dragonflies which was a little disappointing.

Early instar Bronze Shieldbug or an early instar Gorse Shieldbug?


Southern Hawker.

Common Darter.

Mating Common Blue Damselflies.

Another pair.

Blue-tailed Damselfly.

Painted Lady Butterfly.


Red Admiral.


Comma.


Holly Blue.

Small Copper.

Small Heath.

Speckled Wood.

Green-veined White.

Large Skipper.

Grasshopper.

7-spot Ladybird.

Tachinid Fly.


Another Sp. Tachinid Fly.

Syrphus Sp. Hoverfly.

Dasysyrphus Sp. Hoverfly.

Orb-weaver Spider.


Would anyone know what is covering this Hawthorn Berry, there were loads like this and yet some did not have anything on them.
