BUG #2 THE STICK INSECT

BUG #1 TRILOBITE BEETLE

!• ITS FROGSPAWN TIME  •!

Well, very nearly depending on new storms and other freak weather conditions.

In South Yorkshire pond activity can begin anywhere towards the end of February and quite often frogspawn has been laid on the same day - 14th March.

Here are a couple of photographs taken last year when I was helped by my young friend Atlas. We caught thousands of "shiny black blobs. Jiggling and giggling like a sea of happy jelly beans coming to the boil." 
Just like it says in my Bug Belly book!

 

Here's the first in an exciting series of amazing bugs, collect the set.
