May bug



On the 20th May 2010 we had the first ever cockchafer or May bug in the moth trap. This morning, after a night which was warm and damp (the first rain for over a month), there were two, both males! And Alex saw another flying around during the day, whilst walking round the local streets. After a steep decline in its numbers, it looks as if the cockchafer might be doing a little better locally.
