Pretty pics, @pitter-patter as usual. I expect you keep your Cuphea sheltered indoors or in glass-house in the winter? I've never seen one.

The lawn didn’t go brown @Tufty … just slightly pale in patches but then I moved the vines to one side then the other from time to time (and when OH cut the grass) and it made no real impact.

A Swollen-thighed Beetle on buttercup. I never saw these in my garden until a few years ago, but now they have become common. Only the males have those impressive thighs.
