Day 9: Ringlet and Green Shield Bug

Today noticeably cooler and greyer than the last week or so.  Still looking for the blue butterflies which seem to have disappeared.

I did find these sheltering from the weather.




Update 10th September.

Seeing lots more shield bugs now - really surprising how much they vary from nymph stage (instar) to nymph stage as they mature.

I found this one on 9th September - looks more like the mask of a Marvel superhero.
