Barometer Earthstar Astraeus hygrometricus. This fungus is associated with trees, English Oak at this site. A hygroscopic layer inside the rays causes them to open in damp conditions which are beneficial for spore dispersal. Stover Country Park, Devon thanks

LOBSTER MOTH. My first from the parking area for Aish. Golden-ringed Dragons are everywhere now and a real treat. Just spotting my first Green-eyed bees.

Dotted Bee-fly. Considered rare in Devon. An annual visit to Orley Common late April can be successful. Just two spotted amongst the Dark edged Bee-fly's this year. What an absolute stunner.

It seems to be a good year for Violet Oil beetles. I counted 39 along a short stretch of path at my favourite location on South Dartmoor. Always excited to see any species of Oil Beetles but these take some beating.

Wounders to behold. Long lost but not forgotten. Delighted to spot two Small Tortoiseshell near Buckfastleigh on the 26th. Fingers crossed for more.

Green Tiger beetles emerging in good numbers on Bovey Heath. Seems early but a most welcome and uplifting sight in the first proper warming sunshine.
