      Caterpillar found inside my compost bin's insulating jacket. I think it's a pale tussock moth. 2024-10-03_14-20-16_cropped.jpg

        First Comma in the garden this year! Painted Lady came back (or a different one) so the Buddleia was busy again.

            Not sure where to put this, I assume its a beetle/weevil?

            It was 3ft long and in the outside toilet.:roflol:
            I broke his rear offside leg fighting him off.

              Looks like some kind of shield bug to me - what's "3ft" in real money?

                  @DiggersJo , sorry but a foot is the length of a size 8 man's boot, in fact nearly allthe old imperial measures were based on human size measures.
                  By real money I assume you mean the artificial metric system invented by Napoleon as he deemed his soldiers too dim to be able to work out anything not divisible 10 . :dunno: :biggrin::biggrin:
