On Friday I opted for a lazy morning, then after lunch we returned to Powerstock Common calling at the Kingcombe Centre to see the Scarlet Tiger Moths on the way. I was very impressed by the spectacular tiger moths which responded to a gentle nudge with a finger tip by displaying their spectacular under wings and body which give the their name. many of them were coupling, so easy to move to a more convenient leaf.
Then we went on to Powerstock Common where I was delighted to see more orchids - Heath Spotted, the white variant of the Common Spotted and a lovely specimen Bee Orchid and, on the beastie front, a Cucumber Spider, and another spider whose name I didn't discover.
