1 I found a fascinating bug on the beautifully scented Heliotrope today. He stayed for ages so I guess he liked the perfume too. I’m wondering if it is the same creature, the Green Shield bug, that is making holes in the Pansy flowers.
Pentatomidae ; Palomena prasina (Green shield bug).
Who/what is eating the flowers?
2 A bee that was collecting pollen this afternoon seemed to be quite drunk on what he was savouring as he turned upside-down to make sure he got every speck of yellow dust from the little blue flowers (whose name escapes me….)
Collecting nectar
3 The rain left a lovely pattern of miniature magnifying glasses on the strawberry leaves.
