Orangetip Butterfly and a pair of Shieldbugs

On Saturday we went out to the woods at college to identify the plants that were out. We found an Orange Tip Butterfly who let us really close to take pictures of him. Isn't he amazing! Just look at those eyes. He was sitting on some beautiful bluebells.

We also saw a pair of Shieldbugs - I just need to work out what these are now!

First timer

This is my inaugurational post, I have read many from across the USA and am inspired to set up my own one now.

Hopefully it will become the place where my husband, R, and I write up our experiences of our experiences with nature.

We both love walking, photography and surveying; our major areas of interest are fungi and botany, but anything that walks, crawls or slides around is also noted and photographed.
