Murton Insects

A couple of hours enjoying the sun at Murton and some half decent pictures of various insects. I also took some interesting video of a pair of Damselflies which were paired with the female depositing eggs onto a reed just below the water of the back pond. I'll need to find a good video editing program to edit clips before I can post them here though.

Although there is a rich variety of wild flowers at Murton, many don't produce large amounts of pollen on large flower heads and getting pictures of butterflies flitting from flower to flower can be difficult. All of these here except the Cinnabar Caterpillar were taken at distance using the zoom.

Meadow Grasshopper


Common Darter Dragonfly, Female
