Bloody Nosed Beetle - Update!

We had almost given up hope of seeing any beetles pupate when mum found one on the landing! It had escaped from the tank. Since then four more have emerged. The beetles come out of their pupa at night. So far 5 out of 9 have come out. We have put them all back on the bank where they came from.

Violet Ground beetle

When dad was digging in the garden, a large beetle appeared. It was a lovely colour - black but with purple edges. We looked it up in a book and found it was a Violet ground beetle - not common in Pembrokeshire.

Dragonfly

When we were walking along the road near Pwllderi, we sadly found a dead Dragonfly. It was a Golden Ringed Dragonfly. We think it had been hit by a car, which is a bit unlucky, because hardly any cars ever go down that road. 😩

Pink moth

This is me with another Elephant hawk moth. I love them!

Privet Hawk moth

Last week we caught a huge Privet hawk moth. This is our biggest moth - it was a bit scary!

Chough Survey

We have been helping to count Choughs on the coast. Choughs are a type of crow that has a red bill and legs. at this time of year the young have fledged and are being fed by their parents. We saw 6 Choughs.
