I think this is a Grey Pug, Enderby, 18/08/2012

This one is almost certainly Zygina angusta, though separation from the scarcer Zygina ordinaria is not 100% reliable from external characters. From the garden trap last night.

After consultation with national experts from British Bugs, this one is not identifiable (possibly not even by gen det!) it's one of the Aphrodes bicinctus/makarovi complex which at present is not fully resolved and may well include more than two species. Enderby, 18/08/2012

Devon Ticks

Down here in Devon with family, but just nipping into the garden and down to the seaside brought a few new species (or at least they are if they are what I think they are - you know what I mean).

Ivy-leaved Toadflax - Ilfracombe

Procumbent Yellow-sorrel - Ilfracombe

Sage Leafhopper - Guineaford

The Lumix macro isn't quite up to these tiny things ....

Some sort of lichen - Guineaford
