It's not like the garden is any size so poking around doesn't take long, but I'm always amazed how easy it is to find new things in such a small space. When I say new things, often it's things that have patently been there and probably have been seen many times before - it's just that I'm more inclined to have a look and try to identify them now. Things like the Dusky and Budapest Slugs, along with the slug Deroceras panormitanum that I found easily yesterday along with the ubiquitous and now identified White-legged Snake Millipede. This evening I found this underneath a bag of compost sitting on the pead gravel desert behind the shed ..
Brandling Worm
Until recently, I only knew that worms existed, not that there were three distinct species in the garden (the others being Common Earthworm and Green Worm).
I also found two new weedy wildflowers growing in the garden. Being a lazy non-gardener there should be more flowering weeds, but like last years Lesser Celandines and Common Dog Violets, Nichola usually finds them and liberates their roots from the ground ..
Cuckooflower
Forget-me-Not

Kidney-spot Ladybird
2-Spot Ladybird
Some sort of as-yet unidentified Weevil, maybe a Pea-leaf Weevil?
