It’s been good for insects and spiders, lots of different ones in the garden so far 💚

Little snail adventuring
A little snail made its way onto the pond. I assisted it back to land, but maybe it was saying hello to the pond snails…

Small tortoiseshell on carnation
It only stayed for a moment, but it was long enough to get a quick pic 😁

White-lined brown-eyed moth
A surprise find in the garden, hiding in a curled up dying petal.

Spiders of 2022
There have been a few more coming out in the last few weeks, occasionally I spot them! Small but very cute.

Busy at the bee Hotel
This year’s bees are well underway at the hotel, we added another which is slowly getting attention. But the old one is filling up with little mud plugs. Here are a few where they are facing me or starting to make their way back out. Or they start like that in the morning until it warms up. Very cool to watch.

World bee day 2022
The bee was there as I happened to have my camera, time to get a good shot or two.

Spiders 2022
Spider season is here and today added two more to the few I have seen in the last few weeks. We have a resident noble false widow in the bathroom who keeps watch from the corner at the moment, which is nice. Sort of.
And I opened the curtain to this large specimen this morning. I think its going to be a spider year 🕷

Mason bee
We have a second bee hotel now and lots of flowers, if the weather can stay on the up then there should be more opportunities for good pics.
