After what seems like endless rain it turned out dry today, and fairly bright. Perfect weather for photographing bugs and butterflies. Well, not perfect… the wind was strong which makes leaves and branches sway in and out of focus, so well over half the shots I took were discarded. A selection of the rest have found their way into the Bugs and Butterflies<\/a> album.<\/p>\n

I've tried my best to identify the little creatures, and I think most of them are correct, but I'm happy to be told otherwise. Here's a few of the bugs.<\/p>\n

\"ladybird_0607078023\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ladybird (even I know this one without checking)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"short_winged_conhead_0607078049\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A short winged conehead, apparently<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"common_red_soldier_beetle_0607077997\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Common red solider beetles mating<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"common_green_grasshopper_0607078045\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Common Green Grasshopper.<\/span><\/a> You can hear them everywhere, but I had a job actually finding one to photograph<\/span><\/p>\n

I also spotted a Small Skipper <\/a>butterfly, a Comma<\/a>, and a Common Darter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fox cub is still keen as mustard, and now appears in the garden on a nightly basis, more often than not on his own. Here's a portrait from this evening of Ardent the fox cub (yes he has a name, and yes I'm fairly certain he is a 'he').
