That's it. Thanks!
They are quite rare and most likely protected in your area as well. I’m kinda jealous you found one.
It's still there, he got caught in the rain. Should I do anything?
If you wish. It’s not necessary however since rain is part of nature I think.
You can log the record on various platforms. If you are in the South of England, they have a strong population. They are expected to move northwards due to climate change.
One of my mine and my daughters favourite apps is this thing called Seek. It lets you scan big or wee beasties and plants and then identifies them for you. Gives you info about whatever it is etc. it’s a great wee app and turns you into a mental collector, standing in front of folk’s house like a weird as you surreptitiously try and scan their fancy pants plants.
Ha! Nice, thanks!
Editm wow that's a nice app, cheers
Just yesterday saw two of those outside in my street!
