Blue Gentians, glorious white globes of Canadian Bloodroot but I suspect they both bow to the curlicues of Broom (Cytisus scoparius) and probably the explosion of filaments on the Goat Willow

Making all the investments needed for the UK to meet net zero by 2050 will cost less than the one-off gas crisis caused by Russia invading Ukraine. And it will protect us forever from fossil fuel shocks, like - say - a surge in oil price caused by bombing Iran.

A mini 'beast' of the leaf litter the pseudoscorpion Chthonius ischnocheles. This tiny arachnid is just a few millimetres long. It uses its venomous 'pincer palps' to immobilise prey such as mites then covers them with digestive fluid and injests the liquefied remains. They are harmless to humans!

Going through old specimens has turned up this female and male Arescon iridescens wasp of the Mymaridae found in Brede High Woods in July 2023. A new species for me, and a very rarely found species. Good find!
