Oh, yes you are right VC. I just saw a picture of the eggs and they looked exactly like mine I didn't research it further just knowing they are butterfly eggs (almost definitely) is good. Maybe it's speckled wood as we've so many.The best things in life are not things.

Found this Dragonfly in my back garden today, anyone know which species it is? Best match I could find is 'Migrant Hawker'. Would just like confirmation from the pro's, thanks.Attached FilesLast edited by solanaceae; 07-08-2015, 07:45 PM.

Eeeeekkkkk
Not what I expected to find sunning its self on the front grass!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought that our neighbor was having a joke and that it was plastic. THEN IT MOVED
No idea where it came from or what it is, it's about a metre long.

Surely that's a lost pet!
Can you catch it, or at least put a box over it?!!! You hear of loads of cats and dogs being abandoned in July and August but not ??iguanas??Le Sarramea https://jgsgardening.blogspot.com/

It has crawled under a pine tree that grows close to the ground. There is only one house that it could have come from and there is no one at home.Last edited by roitelet; 14-08-2015, 04:02 PM.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet

Now it has come out upside down, could someone flip it for me please.
Edit: don't pick it up bare handed, they have incredibly sharp claws and serrated teeth which can cause injuries deep enough to require stitches. Use gloves and a long sleeved shirt or just call animal control if you are not used to handling animals. I recommend option B as they can panic when picked up and will use the human frame a bit like a tree trunk, which might be scary and just not very nice generally.Last edited by Starling; 15-08-2015, 02:22 AM.

Thanks for that Starling. Unfortunately I can't find it now. We live in a field surrounded by fields and the land is not securely fenced so it could be anywhere.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet
