Sticky End

I saw one in the woods a week ago, but there was not enough light to photograph it. This one, however, was easier to picture because - poor wee thing - it had drowned in a cupful of water in the water-feeders for the donkey stable.


Knifed in the back




This is possibly Leptynia hispanica, but it might be Pijnackeria hispanica, in which case I can make a Scottish connection because the latter feeds exclusively on, er, Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius)...
