Today in pictures

Ooh, what I wouldn't give for some of that.
Sand between my toes, sea air in my lungs....a sea breeze tousling my hair.
I hate camping, but right now I would join any tribe that would let me have a seat on the beach.
Lovely pictures....made me very envious.

I don't know, where is that?

[Margaret Pilkington]

I would hazard a guess at Cornwall....the tin mine chimneys and the surfing sort of give it away Joaner.

Correct, Cornwall, apart from first one which was an overnight stop on the way down.

Go on, how many Pasties did you scarf while you were there?

Not posted in here for a while so here's some from Friday:

1: Ladybird
2: Female Green Leafhopper
3: Earwig
4: Peacock Butterfly

[Ryewolf90]

Some from Saturday

1: Small Red Beetle not a Ladybird as they don't have antennae like this but you can see the wings under the wing case - size about 4mm
2 & 3: Green bugs - I think these are young Shield bugs about 6mm long
4: Harvestman - a type of Arachnid but not closely related to spiders
5 & 6: Trash Bugs - Lacewing Larvae. They are ferocious predators that carry the remains of their prey on there back. I only know what it is because I've seen them before, plus it was moving and you can clearly see the legs and mouthpart in the second image. This was tiny only about 3mm long so massive crops to show any details...
7: A Sawfly or Inchneumon Wasp not sure

Ryewolf you have been missed.
Lovely pictures as always.
I have never seen a peacock butterfly in my life....but there was one resting on my bedroom windowsill...outside.
I tried to get a picture of it, but the reflection from the glass made it a very poor picture, yours is far superior....and now I know what one looks like.

Thanks Margaret, there were loads of Peacock Butterflies that day and I spent 40 minutes trying to get close to one until I found one that was too busy eating to fly away.
