Garden goodies, part 2, 26 July 2024

The garden comes up trumps again! I do a circuit of the garden most days when the weather looks good and Friday produced some more lovely insects.

White-zoned Furrow Bee was the number one highlight, attracted to our Catsear in the lawn as is very typical of the species. Other sightings were Least Carpet, Straw Grass-veneer, Red-sided Eriothrix, Thick-legged Hoverfly, Field Grasshopper and the very attractive small Yellow Swarming Fly.

There are 2 prominent trees in our back garden  - a huge Horse Chestnut and a Cherry. It was not a huge surprise to find Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner Moth and Cherry Fruit Moth, both tiny but good looking micro moths.
