The importance of Insects day - Liz's Weevle Beetle


Hasd a day trapping insects in the Orielton field of nettles - fun! It was boiling and we spent most of the day using pooters and sweep nets to catch wierd bugs. Liz found a weevle beetle and which she let scuttle across her hands. On our way to catch water boatmen from the pond we found a small grass snake. Zea and Chris caught it and we all had a go holding it before letting it slide back into the thick grass.
In the late evening there was another trip to the cliffs for bird watching. I wasn't very interested in the birds but more the stunning scenery and sheer drop of the cliffs! I got this picture as we all sat on the cliffs during watching the sunset.
