Wildlife in Ed D's Garden.

Another first for me. Musk Beetle (Aromia moschata)

Very nice Ed.

Found a few Peacock Butterfly caterpillars feasting on some stinging nettles in the garden this afternoon. We allow the nettles to grow from under our hedge. There must have been a good 20+ found this afternoon. Well chuffed.

A nice find Ed.

Every year I let a patch of nettles grow for the benefit of caterpillars. Every year they or rather their parents ignore them.

Really happy to see these back in the garden earlier this week.

One day they will surprise you. This year was the one for me after 4 years.

Narcissus Bulb Fly - Merodon Equestris. They are currently harvesting Daffodil bulbs in the field next to the house. Maybe that is why we have a few on the Aster flowers.
