Combe Valley Countryside Park

This little lady was on my bag, that seam is maybe just shy of a 1cm, so she is tiny but what a lovely pattern. Could really use an ID if anyone has seen one like it I've had a good dig around in what resources I've got which are just a few sites online really, and she was in a dry (most years) area of rough ground, Rabbit managed and slightly elevated. Update: I think I've found her, she looks very much like a Euophrys frontalis Female, we'll see what my spidery friend thinks..lol

Found this lovely thing roosting up for the night as we finished our walk.

Got lucky enough to have the cloud move over and the few little Grizzled Skippers still out (its late for them to be out still) are roosting up.

Catchin the few rays as the clouds pass by to warm up.

Not sure which, but such lovely tiny tiny flowers :)

The number of white butterflies we saw, probably laying eggs, its a wonder they have a crop! lol

I plead Guilty! Ok so I don't normally interfere, I am guilty of it this time, and I'm not proud of it... Walking along and this Comma Butterfly wizzes by our heads, I follow it watching and in Comma's typical showing off, he lands smack in a web. Now it was right beside me, and I could see if was full of crumb, twigs, seeds, half torn up etc, so didn't look like it was still occupado, I quickly accessed that there was no reason for the butterfly to die in vain, even if it was its own fault showing out! I grabbed him out quickly mind you and didn't realize until they had both dropped to the ground that this very attractive spider did indeed live in that web, so the butterfly flew off irradically, probably died anyway and this lovely lady missed a good meal, and from the state of her web she wasn't going to catch a lot! So the moral is...Clean your web spiders, and leave it be Crystal...lol

Shows the detail a bit more of their face.

One of the most common Burnet Moths, and caterpillars I see but I loved his curly-ness.

I've been really trying to concentrait on Caterpillars this year so that I can have better ways of IDing them, so I'm always excited when I find a new one (and get an ID..lol) this was made better as its a Butterfly species, which we don't see cats of often.

I'm still waiting on confirmation on this species, its Nationally Scarce Nb status and I can't find even one record in Sussex, however it is a distinctly marked individual along with its size I am pretty confident. Will be a good record if it is. Update, we have confirmation on another one sent to our county micro man, I'll have to search for this guy again this year to be sure

This is a tiny little moth, about 3-4mm head to tail but quite a nice one, they like flowers and are quite common.

Had a very mothy day at Combe Haven on 2 June, cloudy-sun-cloudy is usually good time to see some moths. This one I have yet to get an ID on, will have to do some looking.

I like this little moth, not especially a common one but we do usually see a few every year.

One of the earlier Grass moth species of the year usually.
