Where are the insects?

In Sheffield we have had plenty of butterflies. The most for years - since those series of very early springs, followed by terrible cold wet weather in March & April, which seemed to wipe out most of them, especially small tortoiseshell. Still none of those but commas, peacocks, whites, coppers... and lots os bumble bees. In fact I got stung by one for the very first time ever and BOY did it hurt. I could not believe the pain. It came in waves. Not many moths though. Kath That's because Sacha (Queen moth er) has them all. I should have asked where all the pollinating insects are. Cutting the grass this afternoon I noticed that something has been having a good chomp on the Jostaberry leaves, (Never before) also a pussy willow has been almost stripped by something David @a warm side of Swansea Bay Splutter! Absolutely! We've cornered the market in 'good' insects! Loads of moths flying about tonight while I waited for Oscar Underfoot to come in. It's very warm and dry and so good to think they're getting a chance to recover from last year's disastrous season. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
