Speckled Wood and Peacock butterflies about in the Park today but no Holly Blues which are quite plentiful in my garden at the moment. A very nice male Stonechat on the Firehills too. Today’s tiger being a Green Tiger Beetle as seen below also on the Firehills and a number of new burrow holes that may also be these beetles or mining bees, won’t know ’till I see whichever going in or coming out.

As you can see it has it’s elytra or wing cases partially open, yes they do fly as well as being able to jump (just when you are trying to take a photo).
