Help us hunt for bugs!

Posted on August 18, 2020 by Kerry Hood

Have a look for bugs in our park!

Capture a pic on a smartphone and we can identify it and add it to the count!

We can’t hold our annual bug count this year, so we need you to send us pictures of all the bugs – butterflies, bees and all the other insects – that you can find on the park!

Essex skipper butterfly

An Essex Skipper – found on this park for the first time this summer -can you see another?

Gatekeeper Butterfly

A Gatekeeper Butterfly – there’s at least 6 of these in the meadow area, can you count more?

Small White Butterfly

Small White Butterfly – you can tell it from the Large White, not by size (!), but because it only has grey wingtips, not black.

This pretty hover-fly is called a Dead Head hover-fly because there’s a black skull on it

little black and yellow hoverfly

Field hover-fly
