Green veined white butterfly

A couple of more macros from yesterday, of a green veined white butterfly.

Orange tip butterfly and large red damselfly

butterflies, butterflies, Essex, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeMay 9, 20131 Comment

I had a nice half hour or so of macro photography this afternoon, despite the blowing gale and sporadic sun! In a relatively sheltered spot I spotted a male orange tip patrolling, feeding and sun bathing around the garlic mustard. A bit further along I spotted 4 large red damselflies as I walked along the…

Wood ants

Blean Woods, hymenoptera, insect, KentBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 26, 20132 Comments

Last weekend I was on a Forest School Course with the excellent people at EarthcraftUK in Blean Woods. There are a number of wood ant nests in the area and in a lunch break I found a line of them heading up a tree, but it was midday and they were very active and very…

Pirate spider close up

Arachnid, Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, spiders, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 23, 20132 Comments

Some photos taken using my photographic aquarium of a pirate spider Piraticus sp. This spider can be found around and sometimes on the surface of ponds. This one was flashing its fangs while on the water. This species should not be confused with the much larger raft spiders. This is another species to blog in…

Broad bodied chaser dragonfly nymph

A quick pond photo from last night, a broad bodied chaser dragonfly nymph.

Just a quick post and photo. I’ll have to blog about these cracking little bugs one day, but for now here is a a pic of a lesser water boatman.

Migrant Hawker in flight and slow worm

Essex, insect, odonata, Reptile, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 8, 2013Leave a comment

A few photos from last Autumn. Some migrant hawker dragonfly in flight shots. Can’t wait to have another crack at these. And a slow worm.

Water louse Asellus aquaticus

crustacean, Essex, Factfile, Freshwater invertebrates, Isopod, wat tyler cp, water louseBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 31, 20134 Comments

Regular readers will know I photograph pond creatures on a fairly regular basis, but up until today I have never managed a shot I’m happy with of a Water louse Asellus aquaticus. I catch them on most pond dips, but because they are so common, combined with the fact they have the habit tucking themselves…

Heath fritillary butterfly

butterflies, insect, KentBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 15, 20121 Comment

After visiting Elmley Marshes last Saturday, we popped over to East Blean Woods, a Kent Wildlife Trust Reserve which is one of the best best sites for the rare heath fritillary butterfly.  It took a while to find one as the sun had disappeared behind some thick cloud.  But we looked around a promising spot…
