A weird and definitely wonderful wee beastie, none other than a spectacular Glowworm larva 🤩. Couldn’t believe my luck when we crossed paths today #glowworm #beetle #invertebrates #larvae #bioluminescence

So lovely to be seeing quite a few Painted Ladies from the recent influx 🤩. This one had a fleeting rest on the path in front of me, before gliding off into the distance. They have such phenomenal journeys #paintedlady #butterfly #lovebutterflies #lepidoptera #nomad

What a moth! The Puss Moth is truly striking and very beautiful. It gets its name ‘Puss’ from ‘pussycat ‘ due to its fluffy cat-like appearance. I’d love to see a Puss Moth caterpillar, they look incredible too 🤩 #moth #moths #lovemoths #lepidoptera #invertebrates #nature

Here come one of the most glorious sights and smells of spring: Bluebells are growing in number. The delicate Wood Anemones are beginning to form a carpet with Moschatel growing between. Red Campion flowers are opening up and Field Pansys are brightening the fields. #wildflowers

Here come more signs of spring and the promise of that fantastic feeling of spring being in full swing 💫. I spotted my first delicate Wood Anemone flowers this morning , alongside the buds of Wild Garlic 🤩. Can’t wait! #wildflowers #spring #signsofspring #woodland #walk

Always a feeling of such joy to see the first signs of spring starting to emerge 🤩. Crocuses, Cherry Plum blossom, Hazel flowers and Winter Aconites. #signsofspring #winter #newlifebegins #seasons #thingstocome

An incredible natural spectacle 🤩! This starling murmuration was absolutely phenomenal to watch, it just takes your breath (and words) away. A very special thing to experience. Nature really is amazing. #starlings #starlingmurmuration #nature #mesmerising #aweinspiring

A few beauties recorded for The Big Butterfly Count. The Comma, Ringlet, Speckled Wood, Large White, Red Admiral, Peacock, Green-veined White and Common Blue. The Big Butterfly Count runs until the 10th Aug, if you have a spare 15 mins. #bigbutterflycount #butterflies #recording

The Cinnabar Moth has been busy, fantastic to see all these little caterpillars. Something tells me they are very hungry caterpillars and soon there will not be much left of this Ragwort and they will be much bigger #cinnabarmoth #moths #lovemoths #wildlife #nature

Glad I saw a flutter of iridescent purple wings along the footpath. It was this fantastic Purple Hairstreak 🤩 #purplehairstreak #butterfly #butterflies #lovebutterflies #oaktree #insect #invertebrates

The superb dropwort is popping up and looking very graceful along the Cornish coast path 🤩 #dropwort #wildflowers #wildflower #spring #cornwall #coast

An oak eggar moth caterpillar spotted along a lovely walk in Cornwall. Great to see these different caterpillars 😁 along the way #moth #caterpillar #oakeggar #spring #cornwall

The painted lady amazes me, how does a creature so small and delicate manage such a great migration. Travelling from North Africa, the Middle East, and central Asia, recolonising mainland Europe and coming to Britain! Wow 🤩. I saw lots on the bountiful cliffs of Cornwall.
