A frustrating attempt to photograph a
Red Admiral butterfly in Station Road this morning ended in failure as it did not settle long enough for me to snap it. Still, it's good to know this species seems to be quite common at the moment. Along the wall at the station there was a bug called
Issus coleoptratus which looks like a boring little thing but it is apparently the only insect that has
gears on its legs! Nearby was a massive slug which has been identified as a probable
Irish Yellow Slug.

Just before getting to my flat this evening I noticed a tiny creature crawling around some bindweed in a Richmond Road front garden - I think it's the larva of a
14-spot Ladybird!
