🦋 Scott was also joined by Sue Allen, from Cornwall Butterfly Conservation, who even did a bit of bug hunting herself. 👀Just look at all those bugs! Who can name any of the species?   🧵/2 #KernowWyls

Cornwall Butterfly Conservation ✏️ We also really like the drawing, completed by an attendee, of a ladybird larvae & the adult ladybird. Most of those who joined Scott had never seen ladybird larvae & were fascinated by how different they look to the adults. 👏 It was great to see you all! 🧵/3 #KernowWyls

Cornwall Butterfly Conservation #KernowWyls is an ambitious project that will restore at least 25 hectares of wildflower-rich habitat along the north & south Cornish coast; made possible by funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund & Mary Berry's Foods, supported by Cornwall Wildlife Trust 〓〓 & @cornwallcouncil 👇 buglife.org.uk/projects/kerno…

I last visited Wheal Uny for Cornwall Butterfly Conservation's Community Capacity Fund Mining Landscapes Project back in late spring to look for Dingy Skippers. I didn't find any Skippers, but noted at the time how fab the habitat looked for Grayling. A return visit today confirmed their presence!

Painted Lady on the Cornish coast yesterday- I’ve seen very few this year

We found this gorgeous elephant hawkmoth caterpillar on Penhale Dunes, Cornwall, recently. Just look at her huge eyespots ready to scare off predators, and how perfectly does her name fit when you add some ears? A caterpillar full of character.
