Back in August, I went along to the Buglife walk at Canvey Wick. The weather was not perfect but improved as the day went on so we did find some nice invertebrates, which is what the site is famous for. In fact it is believed to have more species per hectare than any other site in the UK! My favourite find of the day was this bee wolf.
As you can probably guess from the name they hunt bees!
We also found a 22 spot ladybird.
There were plenty of brown argus butterflies in one area.
And field grasshoppers.
It was a good day and was great to be shown round by the experts at Buglife, so thanks to them!
