Yesterday I visited Rewell Wood again and saw 11
Pearl-bordered Fritillaries. They did not settle enough for many photo opportunities.
One nectared on dandelion, violet and bugle. Conditions were perfect for photography
- overcast with bright spells to get the butterflies flying. I found a Grizzled
Skipper which I managed to follow around plus a Longhorn moth, Nematopogon
swammerdamella, which is a new species for me. I also found another micro moth
which I have not managed to identify yet and some albino Bluebells.

I changed the id on this millipede on 11.04.2016 having originally identified it as a Pill Woodlouse.

Nice pics Colin; never realised the latin name of the Woodlouse was Armadillidium vulgare, makes sense though!
