took a trip to chicksands wood looking for white admiral, purple emporer and white letter hair streak. We saw 2 of the hope for species but missedd out on the emporer.
Butterflies:
Comma and it's larvae:Small Skipper:Large Skipper:Speckled Wood:White letter hairstreak:Large White:Gatekeeper:
Other insects:
Longhorn beetle:Weird flies that look as if they were wearing ice hocky masks:Common Darter:As well as the butterflies photographed we saw small white, white admiral, ringlet. Also brown hawker.
This gives us 10 species of butterfly which we were very happy with.

Hi Dan,
I think that your 2 masked flies are Sicus ferrugineus, which have a fascinating life cycle to look up!
Best wishes,
Steve Plummer.
