During field survey works throughout the past week, temperatures began to rise into the early teens 13/14℃ . With these rise in temperatures many insect emerged early in the season, as I noted White-tailed Bumblebee Bombus lucorum, Buff-tailed Bumblebee Bombus terrestris and lots of Yellow Dung Fly Scathophaga stercoraria. A few of the Yellow Dung flies ended up in Spider webs like the one pictured below. This guy got a lucky escape as he fought his way out of this spiders web for over 40 minutes before escaping.
