Show PostRed Admiral feeding at ivy bloom on Tunbridge Wells Common on Sunday. The most regular late autumn & winter butterfly, as they don't go into full hibernation.
Show PostSeveral people on the Sternorrhyncha Facebook Group had reported seeing the Asian Balsam Aphid, Impatientinum asiaticum, this autumn, so I have been keeping a look out for it, and managed to find some today along the river at Trowse. #NorwichAphids
Show PostHi Julian, no, amongst other things the Impatientinum has red eyes and the immature ones are green. If this was on Balsam then they will be Aphis fabae, a common polyphagous species (and until today the only aphid I'd found on Himalayan Balsam).
