Small Purple and Gold, Pyrausta aurata, on Germander Speedwell |
I have been continuing my search for new micromoths and
other microfauna in one of my favourite places, Rewell Wood. Last Thursday I
found Blue Shieldbug instars, Common Drill moth, Common Flowerbug, Garden
Chafers, two Drinker moth larvae, a Jumping Spider, a Lacehopper, two
Leafhoppers I need ids for, Noon Fly, a red & black ground beetle: Panagaeus
bipustulatus, Rasberry Beetle, Triple-blotched Bell and Vetch
Piercer micromoths, mating Bloody-nosed Beetles and mating flies.
Identifying some of these creatures is a daunting task and although I spend a lot of time checking reference books and websites, some specimens remain unidentified, especially spiders and flies. I would appreciate your expertise if you can id some of these, or correct wrongly captioned photos. Thanks!
