A lovely day down in South Cumbria on Whitbarrow Scar. First though a walk in Witherslack Woods where we saw speckled wood and comma butterflies - which we don't get in North Cumbria, as well as lots of high brown fritillaries and a couple of silver washed frits too. We also found
Strangalia quadrifasciata, a rare yellow and black long horn beetle.
