Rhinoceros Beetle, Sinodendron cylindricum |
On Thursday I joined Mark at Houghton Forest to check for
early White Admirals or Silver-washed Fritillaries. Instead Mark spotted a
Rhinoceros Beetle and a Drinker larva and I found a Common Wave and a Comma
larva.
On Friday morning Sue found a Silver Y inside the kitchen
window and I found a Treble Brown Spot on the outside of the back door. I returned to the Houghton Forest area and found
Five-spot Burnets, Satin Grass-veneers and a Silver Y. Among the orchids was a
hybrid Common Spotted x Frog Orchid. In other nearby spots I saw a Brown Plume
and a Straw Dot. The Comma larva is now pupating. All but one of the Peacock larvae have disappeared, so they must be pupating.
All photos taken with 18-55mm lens at 55mm end with ring flash.
