I am indeed a wildlife magnet Look what was stuck on my cardie today!!  Scary or what!! I released it back into the wild, otherwise known as our back garden, and got a couple of shots of its better side   It was about three quarters of an inch long from nose to tip of tail (or whatever it is officially called), I have looked through all my books and cannot find anything resembling it, so any suggestions gratefully received?? x Tig |

That's a weird looking thing Tig  No idea what it is going to be when it grows up, but I hope its looks improve. ;D   |

Oooh I hope he finds it Amo - give him a hug of encouragement from me  x Tig |

Well he's looked in all his books and is stummped  Hug didn't work. He still is convinced it's a moth. Try contacting the UK Moths site. ukmoths.org.uk/index.php And DO let us know what it is!!!! He's going to be insufferable now ;D |

Of course CPB!! We didn't think of that!!  ;D He's also gone through all his fishing fly books now too!! It's the size that's confusing too. It must be a young one. Can't wait to find out what it is Fab pics too by the way ;D |

I got a reply regarding the strange looking caterpillar - Amo your OH was right first time! Just at a different stage of development .. Quote - This is a young Puss Moth caterpillar - they start off completely black when really tiny, then moult into this stage, eventually turning into a rather strangely attractive fully-developed caterpillar like this: ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=4178Asked if they could add one of my photos to show on the site too x Tig |

Araniella cucurbitina (I think) Ah one of the beautiful Orb spiders. I'm not a huge spider lover but this has got to be one of the prettiest families of them. Nic pic  |

It was only tiny Chuckles, and I bet you have more than you can think lurking in your garden WT, if the spider had been in amongst my plants I wouldn't have spotted it Amo I think you might be alone in your admiration ;D Todays little hover fly on the peach gerbera ..  |

Post by Amo on Jun 25, 2008 19:03:30 GMT
That's a lovely colour Gerbera Tig. How can you say this is not a beautiful piece of nature art. It ain't big black and hairy!!! Taken a couple of years ago.  |

I spotted this jumping spider today, never noticed the markings on the head before, think it was light reflection?  And also this beautiful little golden fly, can't say I have previously seen one of these ..  |
