A successful Life on the Edge @southdevonnl walk last night searching for Mediterranean Oil Beetles Meloe mediterraneus at Start Point, Devon. The group found 9 along the coast path and we managed to dodge the showers!

Dotted Bee-fly. Considered rare in Devon. An annual visit to Orley Common late April can be successful. Just two spotted amongst the Dark edged Bee-fly's this year.
What an absolute stunner.

It seems to be a good year for Violet Oil beetles. I counted 39 along a short stretch of path at my favourite location on South Dartmoor. Always excited to see any species of Oil Beetles but these take some beating.

Wounders to behold. Long lost but not forgotten. Delighted to spot two Small Tortoiseshell near Buckfastleigh on the 26th. Fingers crossed for more.

Green Tiger beetles emerging in good numbers on Bovey Heath. Seems early but a most welcome and uplifting sight in the first proper warming sunshine.
