Down at Watermead changes are happening. Alongside the new bridge that has been put in life is going through its own changes. In the meadows caterpillars are munching their way to adulthood. The caterpillar and moth above are both
Cinnabar Moth (Tyria jacobaeae). Both can be seen down at Watermead.
This pair of photos shows the caterpillar and butterfly of the
Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) taken down at Watermead. It is a little early in the season to sea the butterflies so the adult picture is one from a couple of years ago. The caterpillar was heading away from its stinging nettle food supply to pupate somewhere safe. With this going on you can't doubt that summer is well and truly here!
