Well, Hello *halyzia sedecimguttata*
So glad you didn’t fly away home, but stayed with us while we drank coffee, al fresco 🫶 I’d never met one of your kind before and you were most delightful 🧡 #macroMonday #beetles #minibugs #somethingnew #minibeasts

I’ve written a couple of picturebooks about wasps - to help spread the #wasplove.
I stepped on a wasp nest last night. Now we are having a break! Those girls know how to defend a nest! #kidlit #minibeasts 🐝 @lozzawriting.bsky.social

A big old weed in the scruffy lawn. Ragwort is the food source for the cinnabar moth caterpillar. As we have no horses in our tiny garden I think we should be okay with this poisonous plant. It is toxic to cats however but we have other toxic to cats plants (such as lavender and chives) and our cat seems to avoid them.

I've got ragwort in the lawn so will have to cut round that area for the cinnabar moth caterpillars that hopefully find it. Haven't cut since no mow may started but will need to in our little garden. #gardening #ragwort #moths #insects #minibeasts

In Alveston just outside #StratfordUponAvon you can join in with a free #GreatBigGreenWeek bug hunt in St Jame's churchyard. Come along to see what is living in your neighbourhood and help count the species found there. #Insect #MiniBeasts

In the under 3's suite, we have shown curiosity in minibeasts, looking in different areas to find them. Lots of discussions on being kind and also their natural environments. #ExploringNature #Minibeasts
