Summary
| Description |
Green Dock Beetle - Gastrophysa viridula. I've seen some lovely images of Red Dock Weevils (Apion frumentarium) recently, so went looking for them but I didn't find any. Instead, I found lots of Green Dock Beetles. It's the mating season (for Green Dock Beetles - what you get up to in your spare time is your own business). The females get so full of eggs that the wing cases don't preserve their modesty. If you want to find some for yourself, look gently (so they don't drop off) on the underside of Broad Leaved Dock leaves. Sadly they were all too frisky for any focus stacks so you'll have to make do with snapshots. |
