Crested dog’s tail grass
Crested dog’s tail grass is one of the characteristic grasses of those open spaces in Wolverhampton which are managed as wildflower meadows.
Flower and seed, Jack by the hedge
Jack by the hedge stem, with some flowers still remaining and others having begun to develop into seeds. There is a thread showing a small spider is in residence.
Hunting for nectar
Bumble bees scrambling in St John’s Wort flowers, trying to collect all the nectar.
Flies, resting
These two flies were resting on leaves on neighbouring trees. Both are from common species.
