I had planned to walk around the field this evening but other events forced a change of plan. I had to help a friend with a task which took longer than either of us expected, so today I spent 10 mins looking through the long grass and stinging nettles at the bottom of their garden. The sun began to set, I wasn’t sure if I would find anything. I started by looking at the plants and grasses and as I looked more closely I noticed the insects hiding within. At first I noticed the bees flitting around the flowers and then the Common Blue Damselfly that landed nearby. The stinging nettles had lots of Cuckoo-spit which lead me to notice the snail and fly (I have no idea what type!) on the next plant along. It was bustling with life; I could have stayed there for ages delving deeper into the vegetation.
