Sheltered spots and sunny patches are the places to look for some of our late insects and yes, I do know that I keep telling you about the same ones but it is getting late and there is still enjoyment to be had from the remaining predatory Darters and Migrant Hawkers and the last Commas and Red Admirals that are looking for ivy nectar before settling down to hibernate. Even on a dank and disaml day like today it is still warm enough for them to be out on the wing!
