As you say, the cricket is a young female Great Green, wings still buds - very long straightish ovipositor is a good clue.Tim Worfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081554391725867216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-59975762061394031362021-07-20T21:36:47.513+01:002021-07-20T21:36:47.513+01:00Ha ha!

If I ever need to be in either location I will try and get the timing right, for the sake of my skipper list! 😄 Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-31231858215822353572021-07-20T13:28:51.818+01:002021-07-20T13:28:51.818+01:00Great stuff, well done buddy! If ever you're i...Great stuff, well done buddy! If ever you're in the Land of Steve Gale, he could show you the Silver-spotted Skippers - there are good populatons in the Box Hill/Mickleham area. Jump a train to Spean Bridge and check out the woods upslope of the station for Chequereds, first fortnight of June is about right, couldn't be simpler, haha! What else would you like me to sort out for ya? ;) Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-14468661012328052632021-07-20T13:01:18.820+01:002021-07-20T13:01:18.820+01:00Thanks Dave.

I followed your googling lead and am now genned up on jellies. 😊 <br /><br />Now that I've found some Lulworth Skippers close by (and Grizzled Skipper earlier in the year) I think Silver-spotted and Chequered are the only skippers I've never seen. Fat chance of either of them on a local walk! 😄Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-1218173845947788162021-07-20T09:04:49.485+01:002021-07-20T09:04:49.485+01:00Well done for braving the heat and a great collect...Well done for braving the heat and a great collection of sightings too. The blue jellyfish is, err, a blue jellyfish. T'other one is a compass jellyfish. I googled it - of course.<br /><br />Skippers are easily overlooked but seem to be undergoing their own little evolution, one day there will be a species for every town.Dave Burrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259482046178828401noreply@blogger.com
