Bug Hunting

Took the kids to Bagworth Heath yesterday for a spot on entomological education but sadly not a lot on offer. A dragonfly I couldn't ID (not because it was rare but because I'm rubbish at Odonota - but it was Darter size and a rather grey/dull brown if anybody wants to offer anything...maybe a mature female Common Darter??)several Hoverflies, a Speckled Wood and a 5th instar Hawthorn Shield Bug. Ruby was mainly asleep and Jed seemed more interested in sitting on benches, swinging my rather expensive bins around his neck and using his hand lens to examine at close quarters the array of dog and rabbit faeces. Charming.....
