The past few weeks have been spent with Dragonflies, Butterflies, Moths and Insects :)
We have had some amazing days out doing Dragonflies and Damselflies and Butterflies love all my insects find it so much fun and never get bored :)
The highlight of the last few weeks has been the Red-veined Darter's that Dave found at Marsh Lane Nature Reserve a very exciting moment and stunning Dragonflies so beautiful :) Also Dave found a very early Common Darter possibly the earliest record in Warwickshire.
We have also had a couple of trips to Stockton Cutting an amazing place and saw my first ever Green Tiger Beetle amazing beetles, we also had White-legged Damselfly, Grizzled Skipper and Dingy Skipper :) Then are second trip was to look for Clearwing Moths we put the Six-belted Clearwing Lure up took a little while but then the first one came in they are stunning just love the wings there fascinating in the end we had 6 :)
