Scarlet Malachite Beetle 2010



Last photo for now - but the best of all, our wonderful Scarlet Malachite Beetle, nationally rare and one of the world's endangered species which we are highly privileged to offer habitat to in Clavering and Langley. These mysterious little creates appear only for a few weeks in May and June and then disappear we know not where. They are so beautiful feeding as here on the flowering foxtails - later they move to one or two other plants but once their flowering is over, then the beetles go too.
