The sun came out this morning and so did the bugs. Here's what I saw on a quick walk down to 360 Hide at lunchtime:
Red tailed bumblebee
Lady bird - it was flying so I couldn't count the spots (rspb images.com)
Cinnabar moth - this beauty is a moth that flies during the day in May-August and I spotted it very close by on the path to the 360 Hide.(rspb-images.com)
Now's a good time to go bug-spotting. The often-hidden world of insects is actually beautiful and fascinating when we take a closer look, and doesn't require expensive optical gear!
Keep your eyes peeled when walking the trails at Frampton and Freiston and you may well be surprised what you notice.
