@Posh The nematodes are bred in large vats containing nutrients and bacteria, they are then transferred to, I think bran, which is shipped to the customer. The nematodes don't kill the vine weevils directly, they enter the body openings of the vine weevil larvae and then the bacteria the...

Brilliant I read they feed on lady's bedstraw and madder plant too, already had the bedstraw and bought a madder plant which has shot up in a short time.

Certainly at least similar if not exactly the same. I'll take more notice of their markings when I next see them.

I'm a lazy gardener. I'm afraid I don't have quite the same level of enthusiasm as many on this forum. But as it happens that seems to work well for me, because all the effort I do put in (and despite being a lazy gardener, I do put quite a lot of effort in) is all about creating what I think of...

Sun bathing, not sure if it helps get parasites out of the feathers or they just do it because they like it. It looks like a youngster to me.

Mason bees have taken a fancy to the hose reel.

Thanks, i'm not sure on the clothes moth, 'net shows them as having white larvae and if these were from the larvae i found a couple of weeks back then they were yellow.Very odd.We did have carpet moth some years back, total nightmare, they were much smaller and a real pain.

Enjoy watching them grow

I'd guess fox.

Sparrows are very noisy so you can keep them sheal
