Spring Stirrings

Wild primrose, Primula vulgaris

A somnolent bufo bufo, a dream-state Beelzebufo not yet stirred by the beating of membranous wings.

The Tulip Turkestanica are proving popular with the early invertebrates, our efforts to provide all-season forage have had immediate effect. We love their sun spot petals, the more so when they flare in the water-sphere lenses of rain droplets.

♂ Hairy-footed Flower Bee, Anthophora plumipes

Common Green Shieldbug, Palomena prasina (winter colour). Thankyou to @NHM_ID Team for confirming the ID.

Lungwort, Pulmonaria officinalis

Herb-robert, Geranium robertianum
