HEAVING AND HITCHING

The clifftop cemetery/nature reserve was absolutely heaving with copulating insects. Almost every plant was busy with 6-spot burnet moths, soldier beetles or ladybirds, sometimes all at once (extra), and two moths were so oblivious of their surroundings they even hitched a ride on my shoe (extra).

Thank you for your kind words and comments, and also for stars and hearts left without comment recently. Blip is such a warm and supportive community, and it all helps when we go through these tough family events. xx
