All wild and free (well I don't think they charge for posing)

 

[spudhead]

nice Kev looks like a nice selection I have hardly seen any this year

 

[Uncle Kevriano]

Cheers Gary. They were very late emerging this year. Lots around now.

Just as well, otherwise you might have to put that RV on hold for a while...

Very few around so far, like many insects this year. A little worrying.
Great selection of photos Kev.
Cheers Mark

Cheers Mark. Everything has been late, but there are some good numbers here in Norfolk now. Spud ssid he's hardly seen any up north either.
