We've had around 6 days of wonderful spring sunshine, and suddenly everything is moving. I would expect to see Primroses:

And Opposite-leaved Golden Saxifrage:

But a 7-spot Ladybird was a pleasant find:

The leaves of new season's Cow Parsley have been developing for a few weeks, and already the parasitic rust
Puccinia chaerophylli has appeared:

And a new species of micromoth for me:
 |
Agonopterix sp. micromoth |
I know it's new to me, but sadly I don't know exactly which species it is. It's either
Agonopterix heracliana (90% chance) or
Agonopterix ciliella (10%), but sadly I didn't know to catch it to examine the separating features. A new species to me either way. Both are Umbellifer feeders.
