NORWICH: A selection of invertebrates (and a fungus) from Train Wood

Early July 2021

A very productive walk home via Train Wood led to sightings on an interesting chrysomelid beetle on St John's Wort and I finally managed to find a smut fungus that several other people had been noticing on False Oat Grass recently. A big group of Peacock caterpillars on nettles was nice to see too.
