invertebrates began to wake up

Linda talks bumblebee surveying with visitors..
National Trust volunteers joined us yesterday as part of our National Garden Scheme (NGS)open gardens 2024.












The invertebrates began to wake up in celebration!

An early bumble bee worked 
the crocosmia 'Lucifer'.






A nursery-web spider waits by her silk canopy among the inula magnifica.




Elsewhere in the stand, a common carder bee busy on the wide daisy heads of the inula.




At last, a small tortoiseshell (on verbena Bodnantense).
