Very late at Dene Park

Far too late in the day, no camera, just a walk for Monty, maybe 35 minutes on site.

Only butterflies seen in the dank drear evening with thunderstorms threatening were one Meadow Brown, Maniola jurtina, and One Green-veined White, Pieris napi.

The Green-veined White, may have been one of the first of the second brood, according to Thomas and Lewington.

The other insect tentatively identified was a Green Shieldbug, Palomena prasina, in its brown winter colours - a bit early I would have thought, and its definitely not a confirmed ID.
