Ended up going somewhere that was not quite so far as the day when I photographed and filmed the UK's rarest plant the Creeping Marshwort, Apium repens a rare Jewel Beetle, Agrilus genus, and a singing male Reed Bunting as featured in my last post.
This place should not have produced anything of note .. or so I thought.
Taking someone there who was an insect freak ..
Five Spot Burnets, Golden Rod Crab Spiders, Spined Mason Bees, a Mining Bee, a Skipper Butterfly and at one point I was filming something that was pointed out to me. The insect freak walked away and I called him back as I spotted something out of the ordinary.
He was disinterested probably thinkig I had seen something common .. and I just pointed. I did not know what it was but I am very good at spotting things that are out of the ordinary.
He looked and then leapt like a lizard as it was a rare Bush Cricket called the Long Winged Conehead and he had been going to another location for a fair old while hoping to see them.
