Wolves Wild

Athous haemorrhoidalis, a click beetle. This one spent some time resting on hazal leaf, warming itself in the sun.

The antennae were waving about like they were being blown by a strong, gusty wind.

Zebra jumping spider orunning up some outdoor woodwork. Pictures taken on a mobile phone in low light.

Young frog which has got into the habit of resting on the rim of a bird bath in warm weather, It hasn’t been seen actually in the water.

Flowers of a garden poppy, the petals looking very papery.

Seed case from the same plant, already beginning to ripen.

The first mushrooms I noticed once the rains finally came to break this year’s long dry spring. They are boletes, but I don’t know which species.

One of the West Park magpies, on what seemed to be a thankless task, looking for something to eat on a patch of dry ground.
