Spiders are so interesting. Look underneath enough oak leaves & you'll find Paidiscura pallens. The Sputnik spider. No more than 1.5mm in size. Named after its pointy egg sac that resembles 'Sputnik' the first artificial Earth satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1957.

This really is the most wonderful book, its illustrations are so beautiful along with Jo’s observations of her walks and foraging. If you want a happy joyful afternoon this is your companion. Thanks Jo for this lovely gift.

Something a little light hearted today. This wonderful book by Bernoid Jo Brown. A glorious wander around her foraging journeys in a Devon wood. Nature and conservation at the heart. Thankyou Jo we love it here TheFarmingForum The potting shed Ward’s Farm 🇺🇸

Bagworms!!! The larvae of Psyche casta. First pic is June 23rd, second pic is today. Look at all their tiny little bags! #DevonMoths ukmoths.org.uk/species/psyche…

I counted 13 trolleys before I noticed the black swans. Teign Estuary, Devon.

Two Commas on the same leaf. The small one is 2nd or 3rd instar, the biggie definitely 5th instar.

Get a load of this… one of the most beautiful caterpillars I’ve ever seen. And a first for me. Notodonta ziczac - Pebble Prominent.

Pass the Mugwort…
