I am currently practising to take part in the insect counting campaign of the Germany, which takes place in August, and today I saw some on this thistle. A mosquito, a ladybird who wanted to hide quickly, and two red and yellow soldier beetles.

Just a few of the things I’ve seen in the last 10 minutes. The orange one seems to have been attacked/injured but it doesn’t have any difficulty in flying.

Love this piece of decorative metalwork on an old Bank of Scotland building by Shawlands Cross in Glasgow.

Some finds from a trip to Dartmoor this week. Marsh Thistle, some sort of Sorrel (I think), Bog Pimpernel, Marsh St John's Wort.

So for the challenge I walked into our very dry meadow and found this spear thistle just now.

Took this pic a couple weeks ago. The bees were loving the along the creek. The this year are humongous!

Maybe that means we will have a beautiful summer. I hope so.
