A trip into Norwich on a 'pot twitch'!
A species I've wanted to see for some while but never managed to find is Adonis Ladybird. My friend Vanna was aware of this and found not 1 but 2 in the lavender in her garden yesterday - and kindly potted them up for me. Thus it was an relaxed drive into Norwich (which I had to visit anyway) to gawp at a pair of this distinctive ladybird 'in cop'. I hope we didn't distract them too much from their important activity! They weren't the only item of interest because Jeremy produced 2 fungi specimens which he had collected in Wayland Wood and done the necessary microscopy at home - Ruby Elfcup (impossible to seperate from Scarlet Elfcup without microscopy) and Rosellinia britannica on a piece of Ash bark. Back in the garden there was a Birch Shieldbug and a Double-striped Pug.
I do love a trip to see the Bartletts!
