Today has been cloudy with a little bit of rain.

I went up the garden this afternoon and found the biggest caterpillar I have ever seen.  It didn't pick it up because it had a spike thing on its back.  I have never seen a caterpillar with a spike before.  I took lots of photos of it as it moved along the grass.  We looked on the internet to find out what type of caterpillar it is.  We think it is called a hornworm.  Have a look at this big caterpillar.

Sorry that I haven't posted anything for a few weeks, but I've been so busy!

Weather is wet this morning, so I haven't been up the garden.  But yesterday was much better here, hot and sunny.  I found a butterfly on my windowsill.  I looked on the internet to find out what type of butterfly it is.  I think it is a tortoiseshell butterfly.  It was sat on the windowsill for a very long time.  I think it was drying out its wings.  I took lots of photos of it.  Have a look!

I have been very busy lately watching the Olympics, so I haven't been updating my blog, sorry.
Daddy went to put the recycling out today and found some snails in the box.  He shouted for me so I took a photo of them.  I think they were hiding from the rain.  I picked them up and put them in a small box.  I also found a snail on the white plastic.

Just got back from Warminster Park.  We went there to feed the ducks.   I went on my scooter around the lake.  We saw some ducks with their chicks and some Canadian geese.  We fed them some bread.  I don't think they were that hungry.  We also played in the park.
Take a look at my photos.

I was able to explore the garden today.  I found lots of bugs!  I found an earwig on the patio.  Daddy took a photo of it while it was on my hand.  I also saw lots of snails and woodlice.  I didn't take any photos of them because I have got lots of photos of them already.  As a joke, mummy took a photo of me wearing my bug-mask!

Our garden is very wet so I haven't been able to go out much.  The bugs I keep seeing are slugs and snails.  I'm getting bored with them.  I did find a very large moth in the utility room so I took a photo of it.  The photo looks dark but the moth did look like it had orange spots on it.

Sorry, weather has been bad so I haven't been able to find bugs in the garden.

Weather today has been a little better with some sun in the afternoon.  I went up the garden at 7pm and saw a few bees.  When I woke up this morning I found a snail on the window.

Our sports day has been cancelled 3 times so far and daddy says that the weather is going to be a little better tomorrow but raining on Friday.  I hate staying in!

I went to Air Day on Saturday and had a great time.  I didn't see any bugs, but saw lots of planes.  I really liked the Red Arrows and the Tornadoes were very fast and loud, but I wasn't scared.


Here are a few photos daddy and I took.

Haven't been up the garden much because of the weather. Went and had a quick look this morning and found bugs that like the wet (slugs, snails and woodlice). I didn't need to pick things up because they were out in the wet.
